RCA CTC177 AD2 Chassis Eeeprom

The Substitute eeprom in the set got the TV up and working again. However, since this isn't the exact eeprom that was in the chassis before we discovered there is no setting in the menu to adjust the color on the Set. The Color is what it is from the new installed eeprom. The color isn't too bad, but I would prefer a little more deeper color on the screen. I suppose there is no other adjustment to the color setting then? The Set ended up testing on the weak side in the picture tube. The picture isn't real bright, but good enough to use still.

Every version of that chassis had a color control. The only time I've seen options missing is when the eeprom is corrupt. The only thing I can think of is it being an institutional model, but even that seems far-fetched.

Was that new in the bag?

I got them for a plain old consumer 25" BPC RCA set, new in the bag from Dalbani. I don't know why, but I never threw the catalog out. I thought someone might get a kick out of seeing this, I couldn't find the year anywhere on it, but I think it's from the early 2000's.
