Boy do I remember the early cable boxes. More than the Oak had 60 volts on them. I got to the point where I would "scratch" the cable on the F connector to see if a small spark appeared. If not, the customer wondered why the tech would jump when connecting them.
Overall, the 86 and the 40 were just about my favorite solid state RCA TV's. I always liked working on the 86. Also, I never remember changing a tripler in any. Zenith ate the lions share of triplers. Especially the wonderful early selenium ones!
