I don't mean to butt in , But I've made a pretty good living off of
repairing RCA's.
I see my share of Toshiba's but not as many as RCA
I, like most of you I'm sure, hate the new RCA design
but I hated the CTC169 chassis when it first came out also. Now I'd rather
work on a 169 than anything.
Another brand that is common for too much green in the gray scale is
Panasonic.
