I called an independent GE service center and faxed the receipt/warranty, it turns out if GE owned RCA in 1978 (no one there knew) it would possibly be covered and only if parts are now available.GE covered the only GE made products on warranty when Highland collapsed, this TV may have qualified but in fine print GE would offer limited time 5 year warranty once a repair was made under the Highland Lifetime warranty. So in other words if it was repaired for defective thumb wheel under Highland warranty it expired 5 years after GE took it over. The Service center said they themselves would fix it for nothing if I delivered it and had the parts available to them and they would not try to process it under GE warranty but the TV would have NO guarantee to work or function because of its age.So I guess we will never know if GE would actually pay for it.
