I picked up this RCA CRT test jig and a box of cables and adapters at an estate sale. There was no manual with it and no model number on the unit. The only thing I have to go by is that RCA is printed on the carry handle. Does anyone have any info on this? Maybe a scanned manual or even just a model number? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I had one of these back in the late 70s. If I recall correctly, it's just a 17" or 19" tube, deflection yoke and convergence panel mounted inside a plastic case. You should be able to look at the neck of the tube to find out what the tube number is.

I have seen them advertised in old trade magazines from the 70s. If nothing turns up I can go digging through the stack I have. I looked in a little mini-catalog of RCA test equipment but it didn't cover test jigs.

Thanks Hi-volt and Bryan. Wondering if there is an adapter reference that indicates what numbered adapters for yoke and convergence work with what sets?

Here is an RCA to Sylvania adapter cross refrence that Polaraman sent me years ago. With this you may be able to use the sylvania information to find the adapter then cross it to the corresponding RCA adapter.
