I just returned from a short road trip to pick up this two tone RCA 17", 17-PD-8096 I think it is, I already have one just like this but for $40 with a stand I couldn't pass it up.

It was about 100 miles round trip including a couple side trips for lunch and Coffee, the home was a 5500 sq ft mini-mansion in a gated community in Chino, A million dollars if it's a penny. even in So Cal that's a nice house.

Anyway, the set is in decent shape and came with an age appropriate stand, not an RCA part but perfect for the set, it's missing one small knob and the gold V emblem on top is broken but I may have a knob and I do have a V so that's not a big problem.

Powered it up and the tubes light but it's totally dead otherwise, no sound or light.

I'll pull the back and check the CRT next but even if it's bad I have a NOS spare for it.
