Hi guys ! Good Day Gentlemen,

I need help Schematics/Service Manual help with two GE PortaColor sets:

First is the one in the first picture. It looks a lot like the one in pix 2, except for the outer frame Black/White esthetics. The one in the photo had the following chassis number : 10AB3402V. I am hoping that mine is close/the same.

Why not a photo of my true chassis ID sticker? - well, the PortaColor is currently in storage, nicely bubble wrapped + food film plastic from the shipper & protected from humidity and i would like to keep it this way until i start the actual restoration job.

Portacolor #2 is a unit purchased a this year's ETF by friend Christophe the videographer. Wiser this year, i noted all the label info:
Last Photo shows the TV.

PortaColor - Montgomery Wards
Chassis ID : CGV12209C
S/N: 5H3D05627-AA-D
Service #12209 D01
Manufactured: May 1978

TV works - Thanks! to the lone UHF NTSC UHF TV Ch-19 Transnmitter remaining in the Columbus area but Green gun seems outta commission. Bad CRT PCB contact, dead G-Drive transistor or true gun failure, we do not know yet.

Both models seem relatively recent & all transistor or hybrid powered.

Anyone having SAM's or GE or Montgomery-Wards service data schematics and/or full service manuals please quote by PM please.

Many Thanks! in advance for any help,

Best Regards
