My how the times have changed. Selling below cost from the start is pretty much standard practice these days. At least in the video game console business. Ask Sony and Microsoft.

Sams refers to Howard Sams, publisher of Photofact schematics. An invaluable resource when doing repairs. Your set is covered in volume 1199 and is folder #2 in that set. I probably have a spare, if you need it.
I think I would be interested in this.
