we have a LOT of 70s sets with thyristor line output stages here in Europe...

when restoring a set with a thyristor line output you want to resolder the entire line output stage carefully anc check the large mylar/poly capacitors for bulging and test them if possible, as failures in a thyristor line output stage can destroy the set and pose a serious fire hazard
