I have that same set, same cabinet, with CTC 177AM2 chassis.
Also have one of those ugly black vertical cabinet sets with a CTC 177AM2 chassis.
When working they produce a great picture. But I am unable to keep tuner connections patent. The PCB is so damn flimsy and cheap that any flexing will break the solder connections.
Both sets are soon to be loaded into the bed of an old Ford Ranger pick up and delivered to a recycling center, along with a stack of common, garden variety VCR's that are not worth the trouble to repair.
Sad, but I couldn't give the sets away even if/when they worked perfectly. Same with the VCR's. Zero demand for console sets and VCR's.

I used the walnut particle board set for a couple of years as the main living room set. Really nice picture ... and that chassis has the alarm clock feature ... I would set the tuner to the weather channel or a news channel and wake every morning to the weather or news. Still have the original owners manual and remote for that set also.
