BTW, those PortaColors sure are nasty to totally disassemble to replace the CRT.
Areas covered with plastic, especially GE's, were why dikes were invented !
Also found damper most likely followed by a tuner tube. For the tuner
part of string find the brown wire ( most sets ).
Never did a jug on a PC. Only ones changed were under warranty.
GE had a way of "pouring" parts into a set without a care in the world
that someone would have to fix it some day. When the started building
some great stuff they were soon gone.........
