Nice looking old RCA - some of my all time favorite designs were the 70's vintage RCA table top sets.

Since you leave in Chicago land, surely there is at least one tv repair shop in your vicinity who can help you with this set - I know they are a dying breed but there should be a few left - and there are a bunch of VK folks who live near you, maybe one of them could drop by and have a look at the set.

If you lived near so. Illinois I would gladly give you a working '78 XL100. I am over ran with sets right now and really need to thin the herd. I call this set my Magnum P.I. set because Thomas Magnum watches a set just like this one in his apartment at Robin Masters estate.

Also got a 78ish ChromaColorII I would gladly donate.
