I'm not familiar with the CTC125 chassis, so cannot say much about it. However, I have a 19" RCA TV with a CTC-185 chassis that still works very well. I don't use it much (or at all) anymore since all TV went digital in 2009, but when I was using it the set gave me excellent service. I only had to have it repaired once, the problem being a broken antenna connector. Other than that, the set worked well, as I said, and still works as well as when it was new. It has been sitting on the floor in my bedroom, unused, for years, having been replaced in 2010 by a 32" Insignia flat screen. My CTC-185 RCA is anything but a low-hours TV, as I used it quite a bit since it was new. The last time I powered it up, it seemed to work OK but the antenna connector is flopping around again, so I don't know offhand how well it works with an RF signal or with a cable box (I have cable on my flat screen, but no cable box, as I am using the TV with a Roku device and Spectrum streaming service).
