Good luck. I hope you get that TV working as normal, as they were good sets and make excellent pictures when they are working as they should. Get yours working as normal and you will have one excellent TV; they don't make 'em like that anymore. When I was in high school 48 years ago (!), I was on the AV crew. Our closed-circuit TV setup had one RCA color monitor, 21-inch if I recall correctly, with the new RCA logo, not the old round one (for our school's CCTV system, we had Sony VTRs and modulators on channels 2, 4, 6 and 7, between locals 3, 5 and 8. We used old Sony 5-inch b&w TVs as monitors for two channels (4 and 6), with a 19" Zenith b&w for channel 2; channel 7 was our one and only color channel, which we began using in my senior year. Don't know what's in use there today; probably flat screens.

Ah, yes, those were the days.
