They told me that the TV had been in their basement since about 1991, and that they rarely used it since then. They where happy to see it go to a good home.
The reason, I bring this up now, is that I kept the TV in storage at my stepmother house since, but in a few weeks I bring it home with me, and I wanted to know more about it.
Obviously it's not as collectible as a real Motorola works in a drawer, but it's still early enough to be intersting (to me anyway  ).
Please feel free to share your thought about this one!
Thanks! |
Um, rare in these parts!
Your set is a "Super Module Chassis" set - 75% of the set's circuitry is on the SF-panel super module. The two Super Module chassis produced by Matsushita/Quasar were the TS-958 and TS-959.
I have the Technical Training data for your set - description, receiver functions, circuit descriptions, troubleshooting, and adjustments. Last two pages are the schematics for the 958 and 959 chassis. I may also have the Service manual for your set - I know I've got a lot of TS-95x-97x manuals.
Interesting chassis - 7 safety caps from the HOT collector to ground!
