This set was built in May 1986, so it really does seem to be right at the end of Sears' usage of Sanyo.
I checked and resoldered all of the components on the CRT board with no luck. I can still see some very dark raster but it looks like the lum section has a cold joint. Next step is to discharge the set and fix all the joints in that particular section. There is an IC in that area so the hope is that the joints for it are cold. Every now and then a Zenith system 3 or CCII comes in with no raster and resoldering that white resistor pack always fixes it, so maybe the IC chip in this set will have the same issue.
Hopefully this set will live. It'll make a nice addition to the ever growing stack of working sets in my basement (no one wants TVs around here so we make walls out of them for fun).
