RCA CTC130A Remote Control Receiver Problem

[Dan Schafer]

Hi All
Just wondering...before I put the back cover back on this TV. RCA Chassis CTC 130A, circa 1988. I got a RCA replacement universal remote for TV sets made after 1990 and verified that the replacement does work. None of the provided codes work for my TV...I do have the Sam's photoFact folder for it. I asume I have a problem in the TV's remote receiver/preamp, etc. Is there anything I can check out quick before I button it up. Does this chassis have a history in the field of "no remote operation" condition? Too bad it shows a like-new picture, but the party who wants it must have a remote with it.
Thanks in advance for anyone's two cents.
