The RCA tv's
Those Rca sets with tuner-on-board(ctc175, 176, 177, 184,185,186,187,188,189,195,197,203) do have a built-in problem, of needing the tuner shield repaired in a few years, after they are new, along with a few other solder-related problems(especially the horiz. driver transformer area),A weak flyback in the ctc195 and 97, and the new ones Do lose the Gemstar module fairly often. BUT, they DO have a good CRT,( unlike Zenith), and produce a VERY good picture( also unlike zenith). I personally like them, not just because I have fixed hundereds of them in the last ten years, but I think they are a good set, aside from the aformentioned problems. as for the ctc 169, it is my favorite RCA chassis, since the old ones, (ctc-40,47,48,etc), and I own a 27" ctc 169 thatr I use in my room daily.
