Long before that, they bought Central Electroincs, which made SSB
transmitters, that was in the early sixties. And soon after, the dvision
disappeared, not enough income but likely nothing that could be translated
into more income.

I own an old Zenith computer, and a whole slew of old Zenith radios, and one Zenith 21'' screen wood cabinet floor model color TV set I bought in 1965 when I got out of the Army.

Horizontal output tubes are childs play in contrast to the biggest problem
in those early Zenith color sets: the flyback transformer. Zenith flybacks,
much more than in other brands, tended to develop internal arcing that
caused them to eat themselves in spectacular fashion. I've seen several that
had nothing left but a burned coil of copper surrounded by the ashes of what
used to be the insulation.
