Anyone here have experience with this chassis, the exact model is T997-01 ZB.

I ask because my b&w portable has it and it looks to be a very well designed layout. It utilizes Nichicon multi-capacitor- metal can filter capacitors, and has Toshiba T03 transistors for all functions. The foil side looks as if it has double - reinforced connections all around, and is pretty much bulletproof IMO.
I think it is wonderful that the quality of a late 1970s taiwanese chassis exceeds many color sets of today

I was only inquiring to find out any tips or history on these or earlier chassis' because i am interested. When I found this TV, i changed out the small caps around the vertical osc. and also put in a new vertical height pot. Call me crazy, but sometimes (like right now) i get a burst of energy where I am the absolute perfectionist. thanks for reading through this
