The RCA color trac was the top line model, the XL100 as the next down.
The set you got was very popular as a promotion give away then, since they were already made, but about to become obsolete very quickly.
Banks would give you the TV set if you got a CD for over 10 grand.
My Mom had hers on about 20 hours a day for 11 years.
It had quit twice, both times it was some little reed relay enclosed in a tube that fit inside a coil. The set would not come on when that relay wore out.
It had a great picture and nothing ever needed adjusting.
Sold that set, got her a 27" RCA with no moving mechanical parts which is now
20 years old and still used 20 hours a day.
