I'll bet this set would really look good with one of those Sylvania black-face CRT's! I'm sure those are darn near impossible to find now.
The guy that owned this said that about ten years ago, his Dad was watching a ballgame on this TV when the picture suddenly went off. He got upset because he was missing his ballgame and quickly went and bought a new TV and rolled this one into the back room.
I will clean that service switch and the module contacts and see where that brings us. Fortunately, I do have a Sams on this set incase I have to go deeper.
BTW, who remembers the XL100 chassis that replaced this one? There was a CTC8? for the 19" sets and a CTC9? for the consoles. The chassis was flat and had several modules that plugged into the chassis. There was an MDR regulator module off to the side that RCA claimed was unrepairable. Those were still decent sets; but, not nearly as well built as the older XL100, IMHO.
