A lot. The 169 was designed and built under Thomson's ownership and control, and it bears a striking resemblance to the mid 80s CTC 140, one of the old RCA's very best chassis. The 140 looked a lot like the CTC130 chassis that preceded it in the early 80s. The 195/7 replaced the 169, and *that* looked like the RCA 140 boards. Even the later ATC chassis showed the lineage to Indiana.
Oh, I hope Jack Welch is stoking ol' Satan's furnace right now...
