The PC chassis, IMHO, was GE's best solid state chassis. Except for a few bad electrolytics, the chassis was fairly trouble free. Unfortunately, many of these sets that turn up today have weak CRT's. It seems like the CRT's in the early '80's GE sets held up better than the ones from the mid '80's. About 12 years ago, I bought 20 19" rotary tuned "PC" chassis sets from a motel for $5 each. I think I fixed 19 out of 20 and sold them for $50-$75 each (yeah, you could still do that back then). Every one that I fixed had bad caps and many had weak CRT's. Fortunately, these CRT's usually come back to life after being hit with a good rejuvenator.
