All others just twisted truth on the colors, thats why I always say
turn them off & adjust manually. Light sensors I remember back
to early 60's Maggies & dont see sense in.
Sears sets were not respected due to many factors, a lot of it
earned. The Sears/Sanyo & Sears/Toshiba solid state sets were of
very good to excellent quality. The tube sets are another story......
IMHO as usual

What was the main difference between the Sanyo and their sears counterparts? Was there any difference in quality , assembly, components, or was it simply cosmetic?

I got the chassis number for my spectra 2000 of the rear sticker (missed it the first time): A2F-621UO.

Yup cosmetics, model & chassis numbers. Also sold by Sears under the LXI
brand. Mom & pop Sanyo dealers were few so we saw a LOT more
Sears ones.
Sanyo also made Fisher sets of that era. Just 19" & 25" IIRC. They had
a totally different chassis than Sanyo or Sears. Sold well for a while.
They were a bit of a pain to work on physically. They all used some
special unrepairable (usually) modules that went disco in abt 10 yrs
& that was the end most Fishers.
BTW the chassis isnt listed in Sams.
There should be a model # also starting with 91 ( screen size backwards).
