Glad you got that set! Dont you love simple repairs when you expect something worse! That service switch saved me lots of $ back when i could find these sets at resale shops. Big consoles for $95 was a joke at the resale shop, flipping the service switch would fake out that the set was defective and they would let the set go for "$10 for parts if you want it". It worked the 2 times I did that. The 3rd time I tried it at the marklund resale shop in downers grove about 5 years ago for a table space command 500. It didnt work on them, the manager said they cannot sell a broken TV for liability reasons? They said it had to be thrown out. So they couldnt throw it out, I hid the TV underneath the cloths rack on the other side. The next day, I had some money, so I had my friend go in and buy it working so the set didnt get tossed. Cost $40!!!
Those were fun times!
Im lucky if I can find a chromacolor II now..........
Look forward to seeing the pics of it!
