It wasn't just the 101, it also affected the smaller 107/8/9/10 chassis of 1981 as well. Back to topic, I remember when Admiral first came out with their modular lineup of SS chassis. They were good performers but we had a bunch fail in warranty and we stopped selling them. The Sears/Warwicks were decent performers but they could be troublesome. The GEs with griplets became glitchy about the fourth year of use, but I made a lot of money on them. My brother (the soldier) used to hard wire them top to bottom, but I'd wash the boards, solder the top, solder the bottoms, then resolder the tops. Took about half hour plus drying time - never saw one come back. The problem is that the boards would outgas when reflowing the solder so I'd hold the iron on the griplet until the "boiling" stopped.

I had one of those Magnavox inline CRT 19" sets with the dot burned in the center of the screen. The problem with that one (and a similar 13" Philco) was insulation breakdown on the yoke windings and the resulting carbon track. The set would work a short time then the sweep would collapse with a nice bright spot in the center, eventually causing a burnt spot in the phosphor. Great picture when actually working, though.

One I forgot to mention was a mid '80s Matsushita chassis that was used in 25" Panasonic, Quasar, some GE, and some store-brand sets. The flyback was a TLF14423F and that, along with the HOT, was almost guaranteed to be bad. The circuit boards were crap, often having broken solder connections, and the jugs didn't hold up well. They really didn't have that great of a picture when they were new.
