Looking for a good used RCA Model # 20F510TD TV/DVD combo unit. My case etc. is wonderful. Looks like the Picture tube went out so I am looking for a used Picture tube actually but will settle for an ugly case etc. with a good tube I can switch out for on mine. Thank you in advance.

What makes you think the picture tube is bad? What exactly are the symptoms you see? The RCA 20 inch picture tube is a good quality long lasting tube and I doubt I have ever seen a bad one.

First it started coming on, then all of a sudden it would go dark, then a couple minutes later it would come back on etc. This went on for a week or so then it stopped coming on altogether. Now, you can put a DVD into the dvd player and it will work, or at least you can hear the sound etc..... just no picture. I have done this with the back off and see no bad fuses, no burned circuit board spots, loose connections. It is getting power to the circuit board at the tip of the tube but no activity past that........ any suggestions as to what else to look for or test if you aren't sure it is the tube. I talked to RCA warranty shops (2) and they are saying the tube ( LG ) is actually the maker.... is and has been a lemon for them thus far.... RCA isn't even offering it as a replacement part anymore ( discontinued ). Any help would be appreciated.

I have the exact same problem and RCA service department is full of rude people.. you think that when you buy a named brand product that they would stick behind their name...but no they refuse to give you their corporate phone # or any information....they will not repair the tv even though I bought it less than a year ago....I would never buy RCA products again
