EC chassis - what a pig! Great for failing in one of two ways - dead, or with zero vertical deflection.

I too liked the PC chassis and it's cousin, the PM chassis. When GE bought RCA and discontinued production at the Portsmouth plant, my dad and I got some of the engineering cast-offs, including some old EC chassis mockups, a blank PC chassis board for materials evluation (Phenolic type I, II, etc), and even some CRTs that were for mock-up use. The CRTs had big fluorescent labels from Sylvania (312 production code) and were marked "Not UL listed, not for production or demonstration."

I hated to see that first GE badged CTC130 set - it started the downfall of both GE and RCA.
