26 FEB 2006. THE CRT IS BAD. IT EITHER WENT TO AIR, OR THE FILAMENTS ARE OPEN. I THINK AIR IS MORE LIKELY. IT USES A 16GP4 METAL SHELL CRT. I WAS SUSPICIOUS BECAUSE THE PHOSPHORS ON THE SCREEN LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD DETERIORATED. ONCE I DECIDE TO RESTORE THIS (IT WILL HAPPEN), I MAY BORROW THE GOOD 16GP4 FROM MY OTHER RCA 16 INCHER AND FIND A REPLACEMENT. FOR RESTORATION, I WILL USE MY TEST CRT.
JUNE 2007: THIS SET IS NOT AT MY CURRENT LOCATION. IF I FIND A GOOD 16GP4 CRT, I CAN PROCEED.
