Ah, the "MA" chassis XL-100s, with the non-repairable MAD modules, looks like you have 3 good ones -they were just as reliable as the repairable ones. RCA got it right with their thin-film modules, unlike Zenith.

My dream set is a similar-XL chassis in the danish modern console cabinet with 2 speakers - one on each end. I had one as a teenager, but sold it to a guy with 7 kids (oldest was my age) - his mother-in-law had the same exact model and he loved it, and wanted mine. Oddly, his kids didn't watch much TV.

VERY nice find

If you need any modules....lemme know
Looks like I blew the IF module. Happen to have one?

I has lots of XL-Colortrak and CC modules but let all my modular sets go in favor of tube stuff.

... I have been watching my 1975 ctc 58n the past week or so using a cheap uhf loop and a GE set top box.
... I had not watched this set in probably a year. I had forgotten the awesome pic it makes ... A really nice change from my everyday watcher which is a 2002 36" CRT SHARP

Sure. NOW I see this!!

I managed to find an MAK001B on ebay for $10 and she came back to life

But if you've got one, I'd still love to have it. The one I got is NOS, but it's pretty rusty....

Good catch. And now mine

As a corollary to your comment, I don't care if anyone puts links to their eBay stuff here. After all, nobody's getting rich off TV stuff.

Well, most of us aren't, anyway......
