Why does the contrast keep changing on my RCA TV?

I have an RCA CRT TV, 19", Model #F19426. Lately the video contrast (or brightness) keeps changing. There is no regularity to it - sometimes it stays either brightness for a long time and sometimes it keeps changing rapidly (flickering). Sometimes if I bang on the case or wiggle the cable input connector, it will temporarily revert to the original contrast. The audio is not affected.

If it's affected by wiggling the connector, it must be the connector's problem. You'll need to get it repaired (or probably just replace the CRT; hardly anyone will service those anymore). RF modulation is an option too, but probably not preferable because of the lost quality.

What year was the RCA TV Model F19426 manufactured?

Since the manual has a copyright date of 2001, I would guess that the RCA F19426 was manufactured in 2001 or 2002. ManualsLib has the manual for this TV: https://www.manualslib.com/products/Rca-F19426-328410.html . The last page, https://www.manualslib.com/manual/138735/Rca-F19426.html?page=64#manual , has the copyright date.

I hope this helps.

How long u have this RCA analoge tv?Around 10 years or more and used it like about 5 or 6 hrs everydays?Yes,than ur tv it is losing CRT tube radiation cohetion.As times go bye years in years out the tv CRT-(tv tube) radiation will slowly dying out,Tv actual pictures will lost some of it luster and it brightnesses to the tv auctual pictures.Brightnesses of CRT tube will get darker and darker until the tv actual pictures barely it is watchable anymore.Contrast,Brightness and Colors adjusting more will help some.But u have to take this tv aparts and take a Flat scerw driver turn up a little bit more of the tv HV-(high voltage) SCREEN button on the FBT-(flyback transformer) to make any big differences of the CRT tube brightnesses.The FBT-(flyback tranformer) is the big block of plastic with a red wire with a black cap hook up to the tv CRT-(tv tube).This adjustment on of the FBT,HV-SCREEN button will help the tv CRT-(tv tube) last another year or two.
