Yes, one of the last true RCA chassis.

Remember, GE did
NO TV engineering after they closed the Portsmouth Plant and the PC/PM line of sets. All of the TV's coming from the new GE/RCA were Indianapolis/Bloomington products. Same Engineers and Service Seminar folks from RCA then - even the RCA Communicator (TV products) newsletter continued, again from Indiana. It stopped in 1989-ish - that's the last issue Dad had in his stash.
Only after GE sold RCA to Thomson did the focus shift to other (worse) designs.
