IIRC, in that era, it was RCA's top of the line set. The chassis in those are CTC-160 something. I bought one for a friend that wanted a console. However the one I got him has an intermittant power supply problem, and I guess these were known to have a bad cap in the power supply that should probably be replaced. On his, it will turn off and turn back on once in awhile. It may not do it for days, then decide to act up several times in one day. He said lately the picture seems to get really bright and than go back to normal, so I'm wondering if it's that cap? When working, his set has the best sound and picture I've seen on ANY set in quite awhile. His is the 27" "flat" screen model. RCA did have a near flat tube in the 80's!
