I'm trying to recall which were the problem areas on these chassis...
It will see semi-hard use, since I just stashed away my 19" RCA CTC-97 from 1980 (inline gun CRT, single mainboard with electronic pushbutton tuner and ultrasonic remote), which was my daily watcher for the past few years.
We saw so many of these its hard to give a problem list. You gotta keep in
mind this must be the most built color chassis ever. Every Zenith 17-25" used it
for 3 yrs then when EFL CRT's came out they used a near identical chassis.
But EFL's only came in the TOTL sets. They also stuffed this chassis into
the 13" sets with a few minor changes & kept it serviceable .
Good news is you can still get almost any part for them. Also the design is
so simple we had the young kids working on them to learn.
