If Sam's knew of multiple tuners there would be info for multiple tuners.

RCA sometimes would rework the main chassis multiple times significantly enough for there to be 2-5 different Sam's folders for the main chassis...Tuner variations may be spread among multiple different Sam's folders in that case depending on what the maker did or didn't tell them.

If you can find the chassis numbers and or model numbers of the variants and have access to a Sam's library covering that era you may be able to do your own research.

Thank you. Strangely, your reply didn't show up until about 18 hours after the timestamp says you sent it.

This is all great advice, and I really appreciate it.

I do not have access to a SAMS library, so when I find a folder, I have to either hope to find it on ebay with good pictures, or pay $22 per manual download from Sams website, but without being able to see the front picture ahead of time, it's a costly guessing game to see if I can get the right one.

Perhaps someone here might have a full SAMS library to at least check pictures on the front to visully match the TVs?

For example, my downloaded SAMS directory says that 2085-2 has multiple radio shack TVs that may or may not be matches.

Does anyone have folder 2085-2 to show the pictures of the TVs on the front for comparison?

Thanks again everyone.

Best,
