Mike,
As you can see there are two posts discussing this RCA combo. The seller is not a technical guy and when his screen went dark he assumed that he needed a new chassis. A poor choice of words. Myself and others suggested that he re-phase the listing to reflect the fact that the chassis probably needs some common repairs such as a recap or change out some tubes ect. This is well within the skill level of most tv restorers. This is a big set to ship. If you have any doubts, you might give it a pass. Hope this helps.
