'72 19" Sharp remote color TV w/ OSD

[radiotvnut]

I brought back this circa '72 Sharp 19" remote tube/transistor hybrid color TV from SC. This set uses a battery operated 4 button ultrasonic remote that controls VHF, UHF, power/volume, and channel display.

Even though this is a clean looking TV that appears to never have been sold, it has some serious issues. When we found the set, the cabinet back was not secured to the TV and we had to find some screws to hold it together. When I got it home, I discovered that the 36KD6 HOT was missing. The only thing I had was a 30KD6; so, I tried that one for testing purposes. The on/off/volume function works; but, the channel motors will not operate. I can hear the relay click; but, the motors will not turn. After several minutes, the HV came up with a very dim raster. Pressing the channel indicator button on the remote confirmed that the OSD channel display worked. Now, here comes the really bad part. The 510CYB22 CRT is nearly dead and rejuvenating it didn't do much good. This is an instant on set and it probably killed itself from years of being plugged in on the shelf.

I must say that this is the first tube set that I've seen with OSD. I'd really like to fix this set; but, have no idea where I'd find a CRT for it. I'd certainly appreciate any thoughts on this one.

I thought I had the original paperwork on this set; but, what I actually got was the paperwork for a C1923 non remote set. My set is a C1933. Actually, this is the first Sharp tube color set that I've seen.
