I could piss & moan ( P&M) all day abt serviceability.
Wires to short to flip out the chassis to troubleshoot. Many.
No bottom plate, especially on audio stuff. Almost all.
No markings on PCB. Zenith
Special tools to pull HV wire out of the FBT. Sony
Moon shot power supply designs. Blame Energy Star.
Service lit only on fiche or disk.
Unremoveable safety screens. Old sets, many.
One thing I learned was most the time the engineers built a
high quality & serviceable set. Then they send it to sales.
Those guys are so cheap they wouldnt pay a dime to watch
the Statue of Liberty take a leak. So you wind up with a 20"
AC cord ( Sylvania ) to save 3 cents on every ten. Blame the bean counters.
