GE/RCA CTC 130A circa 1988 Remote help

[Dan Schafer]

Hi All
I have an opportunity to get rid of a GE model 8-2548, 25" color TV. It seems to be an RCA with a CTC130A chassis (dated January, 1988). I need the space for my fun stuff, like old Marantz equipment. There is a local Bed & Breakfest that could use it...if it came with a remote control. Well, of course that is missing. I tried an RCA universal remote but the user guide indicates that it is for TV made after 1990 & none of it's program codes worked. How can I keep my eye out for a remote that might work for this TV? Was there universal replacement remotes for TVs of this vintage? What would be the best way to search for one...like on eBay. I don't want to spend money and obtain the wrong remote. Thanks in advance for your 2 cents.
