Wanting to know what year and model this RCA TV is?

[rca2000]

MAY be a CTC-81 the upright "fold out" chassis--the ONLY one (other than the CTC-74 19" version of the SAME chassis)-- only chassis by RCA that uses a VRT power transformer.

The VERY next chassis, the CTC-85/86..and ALL that followed (until the CTC-131 with an SMPS) were HOT chassis.

Wernt they calling the -74 & -81 colortracs ?? Thats why I am torn.
Set says XL100 so one thinks the older upright BUT the styling looks
newer. Of course XL100 labels kept popping up for years.

It says ColorTrak as well. Perhaps you expected the phrase solid state to appear next to XL-100.
