I had an RCA console given to me that was about that same age, I can't recall the chassis number. It had 2 problems: 1)the degaussing thermistor. I first replaced it with one from my junkbox which caused the fuse to blow. Next I swapped one in from a junker Zenith 19" and it worked fine. 2) Sometimes it would not power-up. Keep hitting the button (or remote) and eventually it would fire up. Someone suggested replacing a few caps and it worked. One in particular was obviously leaking.
