That set probably uses a CTC146 chassis. I use an '89 GE that has a CTC136 chassis, the one with the seperate MTT tuner module.
IIRC, GE bought RCA in '86 and then GE soon closed it's plants and used an RCA chassis in many of their TV's, while others used either a Panasonic or GoldStar chassis. I think it was in 1988 when GE sold the consumer RCA/GE product line to Thomson.
With most GE TV's, you're pretty much safe on it being a real GE if it was made before '87; however, there are some exceptions (they had some 13" and 17" color TV's that were made by Matsushita). If you find an older GE with a PC, PM, EC, EM, YM, YC, YA, or older chassis; then, you'll have a real GE. IMHO, the PC was the best of the solid state GE's and were used in 19" and 25" sets. The YA and YC chassis were also not bad.
