Nice looking TV! Yeah the SF was a problem-plagued chassis, due to its having the tubes soldered on top of the pc board. Heat damage was likely a main issue with this chassis. My '75 12'' b&w GE with the SF shows some signs of board damage from heat, but has been ultra-reliable since I found it. All I did was fix the power/volume pot.

A solid-state like yours likely outperforms mine since it was likely built to a higher standard, than a set which still used mostly tubes in 1975 (built for cheapskates).
