 GE color sets of the late sixties and early seventies (KC, KD & KE chassis) were pure crap. Many had bad flybacks right out of the shipping carton. The sets were loaded with compactrons that got so hot they quickly baked the PC boards in the vicinity of the tube sockets and made them brittle. GE used a weird instant-on circuit in these chassis that used multiple ganged switches on the volume control. These always went bad, and either the set would not turn off, or it would not turn on. Changing that switch assembly was a bear, because it required removal of the tuner mounting bracket from the cabinet and unsoldering and resoldering about a dozen wires. The only good thing I can say about these sets is that the CRT's were really good. I don't think GE built the CRT's.
