Not quite up to the Zenith flat-chassis quality, but not too bad either. After those--the build quality went downhill FAST.

Not to piss anyone off BUT........ I dont remember RCA chassis numbers
like I should. I hated that damn tilt down monstrosity (CTC74 & 81 ??) , you know, the one with the special fuse & cold joints. Maybe it was the weight & bulk of that beast. The others yes. I especially liked the 19" one with the "normal" horz sweep. Zenith & RCA built the best all around sets but others put out some damn nice product in the first few SS generations, and some dogs
Gives me an idea for a thread.
