I have just acquired a 1994 Gulfstream sun streamer 2000 34ft motorhome it has a non functioning 15in RCA CRT type TV. The TV comes on but won't respond to antenna signal. Previous owner has had many parts of dash apart so I am thinking he messed with tv too. All connections in cupboard for Antenna to booster to splitter (front and rear tv) and destination switch inside vs exterior tv were either hanging with broken ends or miss-wired. Front shroud around tv is broken at all four button type holddowns. I have tried removing the screws at the four button points and the map lights below the tv enclosure as a means of trying to remove the tv but this did nothing to free up the tv. On both my bounder and my Coachmen MH there were these same button things below the tv that once removed allowed the tv to come out. The Gulf Stream doesn't have such so my long winded request is how does the TV come out? Local RV shop says I need to dismantle entire headliner, and most of dash. They will remove Tv for $400 and install new flat screen for another $400 which is ridiculous.
