A fine set. Surprising thing is the pre-set type tuner. By
then they were rare, full RAT took over.
As far as a quality downfall goes IMHO there never was one.
The CTC 175-176-185-186 all had the same problem BUT
the rest of the set was good. Things went to hell when Thompson
ended the old RCA chassii & sold Chinees sets. Looking back
now RCA never put out a "bad" chassis I can think of. Like
EVERYONE else each chassis has its weak points. Good that
they did, it put many steaks on my table !
Bottom line is RCA put out quality sets through the Solid State
era with few bumps along the road.......
