Yours is before that & has a replaceable tuner assy.
The bad ones IIRC are CTC175-176-177-186-187.
Also that vintage were 9"&13" chassii TX81 & TX82 that
really sucked to work on but gave a nice pix. Yours is a very
good set, not to say the tuner wont go..............

Good to know. The entire chassis from the semi-BPC set would be a bolt-in swap for the console if I felt the need to add more input/output jacks. So the 187 is a bad one, good thing I left that BPC set where it was down the street rather than dragging it home and ratting it for parts.

Never heard of that term, at least not that I can recall. Good to learn the proper terminology.
