Nice find from the '90's. I've had many of these pass through here and they are generally good sets. Probably the last decent sets to bear the RCA name. Those Thomson CRT's usually hold up well; unlike Zenith tubes from the same time period. There is a transistor (Q901 luminance driver, IIRC) that I've seen fail. Also, I've seen bad vertical IC's, bad caps, power supply problems, an occasional flyback failure, etc. on these. Nothing that does not happen to any other set. I had the 27" version of this set that played perfect for years after a HOT and flyback replacement. In fact, it was playing fine when I got rid of it.
