This looks like it had an RCA service contract on it...how long was the RCA service company around? By the operating condition, it looks like it probably had fairly consistent maintenance done on it.

At least through the late 80s. I used to have a lot of customers who had me service TVs for them, but they would have an RCA roundie that still had RCA contract service that I couldn't touch. I guess that they never kicked anybody off, no matter how old the set was as long as they paid the premiums. The San Fernando Valley, CA RCA Service Techs would all meet at a local coffee shop in Chatsworth each Friday. The parking would have 20 or more RCA trucks!
