This 25" RCA CTC121 (model FJR2010T) colortrak 2000 TV was given to me by Audubon5425 after it lost video. Someone scratched off the date; but, I think it's from around '83-'84. It has OSD with clock, bass and treble controls, and audio output jacks (no input jacks). When I fired it up, I noticed the luma portion of the picture was missing. With the color control turned up, the chroma portion of the video could be seen. With the color control all the way down, there is no video. Then, a normal picture flashed on for a second and then it went back out. A few minutes later, the same thing happened. I pulled the back and used the butt-end of a screwdriver to beat around on the chassis. At one point, I was able to restore the picture for about a minute. I have not gotten it back since. Now, I'll need to pull the chassis and find the bad solder connection(s). I must say that it looked very good while it had a normal picture.
