Ron Ramirez Wrote: The biggest drawback to these is the rubber-covered wiring used.

I've never worked on an RCA of that vintage, but I own a few Zeniths with rubber-insulated wiring. I have gotten pretty good at replacing it and getting the dress correct (I stock PVC insulated wire in all ten RMA colors, in solid and stranded, and in five gauges). Getting the dress is easier since I upgraded the workbench lighting and installed a bracket for my networked DSLR above the bench (it is remote controlled with a program on the shop laptop).
