What was the deal with Sanyo and buying companies back then? I believe Sanyo bought Fisher around the same time, and then bought Marantz later. I have worked on Marantz gear that was built the exact same as later Sanyo era fisher stuff. It's been a few years though.
I tested the tube today in this Sears set after finding a #23 adapter. The CRT tests very good and I made sure to test it following the manual, then found a video online to follow just in case there was a mistake. Now it seems time for the LUM section to get resoldered and checked. It really is nice to know the CRT is good rather than just dig into a tv that could be a lost cause.
Also the way this set is built is super cool. The two board chassis design is something I haven't seen yet. Most sets here either have one single board, or they're a Zenith set with boards all over the place.
