Cool set!

Back in late 79/early 1980, the leftover production circuit boards for those last-gasp-tube RCA's were bought up by PTS, the tuner rebuild folks. They sold them in their satellite stores as surplus. Dad bought a bunch at the PTS loaction here in Norfolk. I must have pulled parts for Dad a million times from those boards! Seems PTS and RCA were both in Indianapolis, so PTS got a lot of RCA's production surplus - tuners, parts, you name it.

Thanks for the stroll down memory lane!

Cheers,
