I restored an RCA 8 inch portable a couple years ago which turned out really well except for an issue with jail bars on the left half of the screen which I never was able to resolve. It's possible to make them less visible but they're always there more or less. It's a nice TV but working on it is a challenge between the split chassis and the fact that it's built in three dimensions - RCA used every cubic inch of the chassis to make it as small as it was. Also, the fact that the horizontal output tube and damper are under the flyback seems like a bad design from a heat perspective, mine had a bit of wax dripping out of it but seems to work just fine.
