Still going through the piles of literature and schematics. Among this stuff is a 1956 model with a 27RP4 picture tube!

The test jig is a Setchell Carlson Color TV Service Center model 135SC80X with a 21FJP22 tube. Never seen sets so designed to be serviced. The chassis are plug and play units. You could do a recap on these by just "lifting the hood" and removing the modules by undoing two Phillips head screws and pulling them out.

Slightly OOT, anyone in the Milwaukee or Chicago area remember the DeForest-Sanabria TV, with the original "Works-in-drawer" chassis. They came out in the early 60's. It's in Sams, under model DKW.
Unlike Motorola, the drawer came out completely. It used a Jones plug arrangement, that connected the antenna, picture tube socket, yoke, dag grounds and power cord. The HV anode was a separate insulated connector.
The newspaper ads, boasted that no home service is necessary. Just, pull out the drawer and take it to your dealer.
