They came out abt 1982 IIRC. GE got it right on the PC. A low
price 19" with a damn good picture & only a few common failures.
The PM is an upgraded PC with switching supply & other
features.

The AA, AB & AC were 10-17" sets. They had the intermitant griplet
problem. By the AC they ran wires through the board, folded them
over & soldered them down. That took care of most the intermits..
Other than that they didnt have that many probs. Compared to
the Portacolor they replaced they were 100 times better.

EC was IMHO the worse of the lot. Constant griplet troubles.
Most had a 82 pos channel selector & guess what ? full of griplets !

Some older GE's were OK, but you HAVE to be sure to upgrade
the safety cap. They went & caused a lot of damage sometimes.
Also had a lot of bad yokes & vert boards. Most were all modular except the JA & a few others.
