    Request--old RCA tv--CTC 131--Manual available?

    I just acquired a NICE condition RCA ctc 131 set. It is a 1985 or 86 model. CRT looks to be about PERFECT. Set DOES work...aside from dirty secondary controls and a bit of vertical retrace at top. I am SURE...I could fix this set totally myself without a manual if I HAD to..but I would hope someone here has a manual I could download. This is NOT a dimensia set--wish it WAS...but it DOES has a pair of AV ins and outs. The 131 is a cold set--but in the "day"..it's SMPS could be HARD to KEEP repaired. Model # GL2645H I DID have a 131M manual for the dimensia models...but cannot find it..

    if this was for a CUSTOMER...I WOULD be reluctant to repair it...for fear of it lasting. But it is for my OWN collection

          A price from Manuals-in-PDF.com for this service manual comes to about US$50.
          My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.
