90's RCA XL100 "Remote"

[lnx64]

This set appears to be rather unknown. It's an XL100, but in no means releated to the old ones.

This is my set, and was one of the first electronic devices I ever repaired, when I was 13 years old.

But for all of these models I have seen, it's the same story with them, one of the transistors in them goes bad and burns up essentially, failing to power on the set.

Is there any more information on this TV? At the time this was sold, RCA was also selling another TV that was more "aerodynamic" looking, meaning it had more curves and looked more "modern", but it cost LESS than this TV. I remember being in Lechmere's when this TV was sold, and my father bought this one over the one I thought looked better. But apparently this TV, despite looking more like an 80's set than a 90's set when it was sold, had a better picture, even if it IS still bottom of the barrel.
