I agree with Steve K... His experience on the early color sets is about as strong as you can get in 2011. Further, I agree that Sams is probably NOT what I'd use. I have (same as Steve) the RCA factory manuals and supplements. I doubt that your TV has any non-factory authorized changes in it; especially if it's been in your hands since '70x. If it had passed through the hands of other TV collectors, maybe I'd worry there had been switchy-changey of things. I had a 21CT55 that had been heavily modified to accept composite input, and was changed to a glass tube, and had been retrofitted with a solid-state B+ regulator. Needless to say, that became a "parts set".
