Summary

The RCA ES-402BEN Color Television was the last hybrid set that RCA made. It is estimated to have been built and sold in the late 1960s or even early 70s, due to the fact it still uses vacuum tubes over transistors in a hybrid fashion (CTC-53 chassis).

One noteworthy detail is that the CRT is a low voltage Einzel lens type, sinilar to the GE Portacolor.

Vacuum tubes are used for deflection, color demodulation, and video amplification.

Manuals

None available at this time.

Notes

Submitter recommends a good cleaning if not already cleaned and make sure every tube and cap is still good and ready for use.
