The worst set I ever serviced

[jstout66]

heh! I beleive I may have been the one to share my Uncles hatred of those sets in that earlier thread. When I went with him on his house-call route in the late 70's early 80's there were a few of those sets he had to service. I never saw one with a decent picture, EVER. Also they most likely had to be hauled into the shop for repair. Glitchiest sets I ever saw. IMO those pre Zenith Chromacolors weren't the easiest to work on. ALL RCA's were pretty easy to service. My Grandpa worked in the shop as well, and he always had an opinion on everything. (Most of it bad if it wasn't Zenith... which we sold as well) He always said Zenith wasn't the easiest to service, but they were built to last, so service was far and few between. He said RCA's were easy to service because they were junk. He always said they were built to blow up. To really start him on a cussing frenzy tho was to see ANY Motorola set on call or brought into the shop. I think he hated the W.I.D. sets worse of all. Oh.. and lets not forget anything Japanese. I can still hear his shrill "What in THE hell!" when he'd work on anything he didn't like.....
