RCA Model # P50599T made 1989. Have to
do inhome service on it. Dead, anything common,
like flybacks? Hard to get parts?Rono.

Rono:
FIRST, you need to POST the results of your initial BASIC trouble
shooting and testing.
"Dead" could be just about anything but you can start with the basics
like the FUSE, raw B+, regulated B+, LOPT, HOT, etc.

Rono, what you need to include in your inquiry is the chassis number as well, suspect it is ctc169 if really dead(no standby voltage) than you need to carry
Tea2261, SGSIF461,470uf,35v; 47mf,35v;15uf,50v;2.2uf,100v and 3.0vzener.

Why? He obviously hasn't been out to look for it yet, I don't know anything
about that particular model but a great many sets have common problems so if
one comes out to the house prepared for those, there's at least a reasonable
chance of getting it up and running without a repeat trip.

James knows what he's talking about! I don't know why some
Techs, just can't read a simple post. I'm going to a house, to
look at a unit I never saw before, made in 1989, have no
parts for it, & nobody wants to give it a try. Can't find anything
online. I'm a Tech over 20 years. I'm doing all the work for the
biggest shop around, & I don't know everything. Sometimes
just need some info on "common problems" with certain units.
Some of you come back with the same old stuff: "basic trouble-
shooting"! I fix some of the hardest gear around. Rono.

Rono!! I think thats a Hitachi type guts take a pile of filter caps with
you.
If its the one i think it is maybe the Fly !!! maybe not.

RCA and Ge branded stuff from pre 1994 is nearly impossible to get many
of the special parts, except for maybe the ctc169 chassis. Even now
things like the focus/g2 blocks are in short supply for the 169.

I am guessing it is either the Hitachi based chassis or the CTC132
chassis. Very few real parts available except for the standard
failures. The Hitachi chassis is known for piles of bad capacitors by
now and commonly failing flyback and hv splitter, long since nla. The
ctc 132 chassis is also known for the hv splitter failing and nla, plus
lots of bad capacitors causing blanking picture. We always estimated
$100 high on those due to the high likelyhood of finding other problems
once the initial fault was repaired. Customers are always happier to
get a bill a little less than estimated.

"the biggest shop around" and you "do all the work"
