If it still works and has a good picture, I'd keep it. I have seen many RCA's from this time period with weak or shorted CRT's. Even if that turns out to be the case with yours; you can probably find a 19" CRT cheap if you check around. Those sets may not have all the features of the newer sets; but, they are much better built, last longer, and are often easier to service than the modern stuff. When working right, those RCA's produce a picture that's as good or better than today's CRT sets. I have an '80 model 19" XL100 that blows most of the newer, cheaper sets out of the water. I would like to know what chassis is in yours. It will be stamped on the rear of the chassis as CTC-xx. RCA used many different chassis in the same style cabinet during that time period.
