There is another thing that is not a problem right now, but could be a problem in the future. I need to add some context here.

I am more familiar with the CTC 158 chassis. You unplug one of those, plug it back in and turn it on, and it starts autoprogramming because it lost the channel information. This CTC 166 remembers its channel info. Great!

It also has an on screen clock that displays accurate time. Great!

Uh, wait... that means this TV has a real time clock, which as far as I know should be powered by a battery...

...A 28 year old battery...

Now I have looked at the chassis. I have not had it out of the set, but I have looked at it and seen nothing like a battery. If there is one in this set, maybe I should know about it before it decides to leak and destroy traces on the circuit board.
