Update: It's lost all horizontal now. I think I'm gonna look into getting the Sams for it, use that to try and poke around a bit. If that fails, I'll use the shotgun approach.

That diode is a-going bye-bye. It's doubtful that anyone will ever use this set on a daily basis again... and if they do, they can damn well wait 3 seconds for it to turn on.

Missed the other, must be my eyes. I probably got that too.
Both mine show a 3GK5 NOT a 3HA5 for RF amp so you may
have a newer one with different tuner assy.
Thanks Zeno. The tuner is sort of a separate thingy, so apparently the chassis stayed the same for a long while, but the tuner changed. TomJ suggested 1062-1, I'm assuming a higher set number implies a later date? Idk, it'd be nice if I had a model number. With the Sams index, I can cross those folders to about 8 model numbers, none of which give me any results on google. sadface. Do you suppose any of the 3 Sams folders would work for me? Aside from the tuner, the rest should be mostly the same, right?
