What chassis is in it?

The "YA" chassis was a modular set from the mid to late '70's that used a large neck inline tube. They had a decent picture.

The "EC" chassis was from the late '70's to very early '80's. This was my least favorite GE chassis. They were hard to work on, had loose connections, and tended to eat flybacks.

The "PC" chassis (my favorite) came along in the early '80's and stayed around to the end of real GE TV's in around '87. The early "PC" sets had that late '70's look. The "PC" chassis is on a single board and about the only trouble they gave was bad caps in the vertical and power supply circuits. It's getting harder to find one of these with a strong CRT; but, I guess that's to be expected after 20 to 25 years. Most of the ones I've found with weak CRT's took a good hit from the CRT rejuvenator.
