Unknown year General Electric YM-E

[pac.attack76]

25" console powers on. No screen or audio. Just the channel display and gun lights up. No smoke or odor. Also wondering what year this one is.

Mid to late 70's Look for 4 digit date codes on large parts.
GE is like Zenith. You need to be sure the S-cap is not a white one.
A bad one can blow the HOT, FBT & Vert out.
Look around, it may have a 'mini manual" in there.
Its dead so should be easy to fix.

LFOD !

That customers service information behind a plastic cover on the back is missing. It shows where it should be stored but not there 😔

Man, that's a flashback. Aunt had one of those for 10 years - very similar to this one. Nov. '78 build, and the channel readout was not a real LED. VIR, of course. Guessing this one is a year or two newer.

If breaker is tripped, would the gun and channel still light? I doubt it but who knows.

Most 60s color sets the breaker was between the B+winding and the B+ rectifiers so if the breaker tripped you'd loose everything except the heaters and dial lamps.

Learn something everyday, lol. I'll look for the s cap tomorrow. Supposed to rain so I'll be in most of the day.
