I opened it up and it indeed uses an NEC chassis, with lots of cigarette paste.
The TV fires up; but, the vertical is shrunken a bit, the purity and convergence is off, and there are some other issues.
The TV was made in November of '78; but, the CRT is date-coded the 22nd week of '79 and is a 19VJQP22 CM-badged RCA (EIA 274). That tells me that this set most likely got a CRT replacement under warranty.
Oddly enough, this set has "instant on" and this is the newest set I've seen with that feature. I will disable it, when I fix the set.
