Also what's the stereo and turntable like? Do they work? I know you've been focused (no pun intended ) on the TV portion of your set.
Really, really NICE!

IIRC, RCA was buying rebuilt CRT's from independent rebuilders and labeling them RCA Service Co.
When the sets under contract were getting older, they were more of a risk to cover. I know they milked the CRT's until they weren't able to produce a passable picture and were hoping that owners would buy a newer set or wouldn't renew the contract.
