NOS RCA Console Television Set

The mid 90's was RCA's "last hoorah" in the console market. I sold RCA sets in those days, and by 1995 they were down to a handful of console models, and in another year or so there were none. I agree with what Zeno said above, the CTC 169's were a great chassis (the ones that came after that, not so much). If I could find a NOS CTC169 console, I'd sure try to buy it

By the time I closed up shop in 1998, most of the brands I sold in the early 90's (RCA, Quasar, Magnavox/Crosley) had completely phased out console models. Zenith was about the only line I sold that kept on producing console models in any number. After 1990, Zenith has the biggest line-up of consoles on the market; far outnumbering any of their competitors.
