Jason, Thank you verrry much for the EE-Prom information and your kind offer of help. I see that you are a distrubutor and this is good to know. I see a lot of RCA. The unit I need the EE-Prom for is a PTK-178L2B AJ. I am not sure but we (my RCA distrubutor and I) have ordered and have been waiting for the 212119 EE- Prom / Micro Kit. I would like to think we have the right cat by the tail but if not so... would APPRECIATE being corrected. My local distrubutor has in stock the 237699 EE-Prom.
