Broken stand on RCA portable tv




By Storch on Mar 02, 2008

" "
I have a RCA portable TV made for Radio Shack, (cat. # 16-3000), that has a broken flip down stand. I checked with Radio Shack and they had only some parts for this, but not the one I need. The stand flips down from the bottom of the unit and is replaceable. It was made in 2000. The only number on it, besides a serial number, is the Radio Shack cat. number. It is a 5" screen. The stand is needed to use it on a table top. Can you help me find this part? Thanks.

- Ok, the serial # is 192896. However, I've located the tv on the above 'index to televisions'. After checking the original box I found,(on the bottom), the upc code with the number 160-3000 above it. The #16-3000 must be the Radio Shack cat # but without the zero. Then I checked every 5" tv on the list and it turned out to match the Memorex Portavision Television/Monitor #160-0125. This was confirmed when under the info for this tv it said 'Features/also: 160-3000'. The cat. no. for the stand is 10689768 and the part no. is HC-6532. Do I get this from Radio Shack or RCA?

- Oh no. I thought that the list of parts for all those tvs meant they were available. That's why I accepted the answer. What is the secondary market, and how do I get a part from it?

Mar 06, 2008

- Also, your previous message said RCA parts were available for this.

Mar 06, 2008

- Ok, I tried that and only found the parts list I have. Is there anything else I could try?

Mar 06, 2008

- Ok, I tried calling Vance Baldwin Electronics and they had no record of part #HC6532 or the model # of the tv. There seems to be several differnent tvs that used this same part.

- can you confirm that part number..doesn't appear here

- you most likely get it from the secondary market, as I believe that RS has no spare parts, and RCA hasn't made the beast in years.

- whenever someone stops making a product, the spare parts go through a 3rd party vendor. simply doing a Google search on the part, will reveal who that is..I'd find it highly unlikely that RCA would still be carrying this part direct...not their usual style

these guys handle a ton of older electronics parts and service issues.

- hmmm..sounds like it's time to retire that unit, perhaps...happens in the migration from one technology to another. of course, you could try ebay and find out if someone has an older one that's not working any more, right?

Hi there Storch
Have you tried to repair the broken part? Sometimes when parts are scarce, that is the best approach. You could go to a repair guy near you and he could do it for you for a small charge if you were not happy about you ability to do a good job. I could talk you through it also. :)

- I would fabricate a new one out of 2mm acrylic with steel rod fixed(2 part epoxy) to it sized correctly to fit to the mounting holes. probably take 30 mins to fabricate and fit, problem solved:)

Graeme
