Early 80's Magnavox Console - Help with Schematics?
 
Hi,

I recently acquired an early 80's Magnavox 25" console TV, and I'm trying to find the Sams Photofacts for this one so I can diagnose some issues.

The model number as listed on the back is RA5034PN01. When I look at the Sams index, that doesn't seem to exist. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Sams didn't use Magnavox model numbers on most of their tube and early solid state sets. Use the chassis number. Normally it's on a small trading stamp size sticker pasted to the back apron on the chassis. May start with "U", "RA", "TA".

Ditto
Early 80's probably a C-5 or C-6. more ##'s after like C501-00-AB.
Lots of cold joints on them around the HV.

The chassis number is T815-09. Photofacts only lists:

T81501AA
T81502AA
T81503AA
T81513AA

The first three translate to Sams 1860-1, the last one to 2239-2, but I am not sure its what I need.

I was able to determine this TV is from 1980 or 1981.

Thanks!

Entering your model number with no other information into a search bar yields https://www.antiqueradios.com/forums....php?p=3562618

Someone explains exactly which Sams you need in that thread. Good luck.

T815 was the older module sets. Much better & easier than the C5 & C6.
Date code some large OEM parts, wk/yy to date. I would bet its a
late production so the highest SAMS probably closest.
