Very interesting set there. It's amazing that its got complex features like PIP and stereo, and the chassis is a miniaturized mainboard like modern ones.
I started to notice the small mainboard catching on in the late 80s on othber brands, like RCA's, specifically the CTC-130 era, which had stereo, osd, and all kinds of other stuff, but used one or two chips for basically everything. Really is a drag today when you try and locate one of those NLA chips from NLA manufactureres! Like Zenith, etc... Its a shame. Well anyway looks like quite the futuristic set for 1989. In 89 I wish I couldve had one similar, my daily watcher was a 1983 RCA 19 incher with osd and remote, but it had lots of hours on it by then. I believe it was a CTC117. Still have it today and still works, but the CRT is very old.
