Tell me about it, RCA had a big problem with flybacks in the CTC101 set from around 1980. I had such a set, and yes the flyback blew up after a few years. I miss that set, it had a nice picture, with the comb filter.

They had a recall & upgrade kit on that chassis. I put in dozens of those in the early 80s. The "IHVT KIT". Great performing chassis!
