I have a new theory about the history of this set. The modifications are very unprofessional, with cold solder joints and midair connections. I can't believe that RCA engineers would do that kind of work. I think the set was abandoned by RCA after its life as a CPA prototype, and the later mods were done by someone who got the chassis, probably an attempt to make it work with NTSC.

Steve, your assessment of the "later mods" certainly makes sense. I am just glad that this wonderful piece of history did not get put on the dump as so very many wonderful sets did in years past...
