Great $ave! RCA's finest tube-rectangular work IMHO.

I had the guts to one of those models, shop I was working for retrofitted and RCA 25" monitor and reconnected those speakers. The customer was thrilled, RCA no longer offered a cabinet that matched t heir furniture. I got to remove the leftovers

It worked right away when I put it in another early American maple cabinet and it was OUR college apartment set. Used it the whole summer of '82 to watch HBO-CINEMAX repeat movies, enjoyed in lots of company and everyone was amazed it was 15 yrs old.

I miss it terribly, as fine an example of RCA's last good tube chassis as any made. The color and video were just perfect. I sold it for rent money in fall semester, got a 69" Zenith again when I got another TV shop job.
