The TV is a remote set. It says Remote Control right under XL100. It has the regular volume up/down, power, and channel up/down. It also has some channel memory buttons. |

Thanks! I collect all sorts of vintage vacuums. I even have a whole room dedicated for them! The vacuum pictured is actually a Royal, but they are similar in many ways, so I can understand the confusion.

Size of a room or apartment isn't an excuse. Me, my wife, and baby lived in one room with a full size bed, computer, two refrigerators ( which we eventually went to one refrigerator and a upright freezer), about 5 console sets, a few 19" sets, at one point, a 60" projection and a 52", 5 six foot arcade cabinets, microwave, not to mention our personal belongings, and all my games and systems. Space is what you make of it. We did that for a couple years until we were able to move. Wasn't the most pleasant thing in the world but I didn't have to sacrifice anything. I get a kick out of people when they say that they don't have room for ONE thing or that they have to get rid of something due to space. Hilarious.

The set chassis view looks like an RCA with the ultra-sonic remote, but 1984 is too new for that!

The 1984 RCA XL-100 CTC-120 had a capastrophe! I was just sitting there minding my own business, and all at once, the picture went berserk! The large multi section capacitor failed and the picture became extremely distorted with a large white circle in the middle. I am now using my backup TV, (which I knew I'd need sooner or later) the 1979 Quasar.

Wow, that's unfortunate.

You got that right. Two things broken in two days. Yesterday my Electrolux 1205's power nozzle snapped its belt (my fault - accidentally sucked up a shoelace.) What'll it be tomorrow? My CAR?

Some of those belts are rather pricey. |

That electrolytic can capacitor is the most common failure on that chassis.

That's what I've heard, Radiotvnut. I may have one of those capacitors. But I doubt it. I think it's the 600 mfd section that's bad?

The closest thing I can find to a 600 mfd is a 550 mfd at 385 volts. If I have to, I can tack in a 47 mfd alongside the 550. See here.
There is also an 800 mfd. Which would be better? I've heard it's OK to go up, but I don't know about almost double the value. Wouldn't it make the B+ too high? Here.

Instead of paying lots of money for a new capacitor, I just went to the radio club downtown and made one. I found some 330 mfd Nichicons at 200 volts. I just soldered some wires to them so I can easily replace that big can thing.
