Sanyo built alot of portables for them, too. I worked there back then.
The good thing about working for Sears Service was the wealth of information they would supply to the techs on each of these TV models.
Most of the sets would have the same problems... Generally well-built chassis.
I have a Toshiba-built Sears solid state 17" color set with a brand new CRT with a lovely picture. The red phosphors in the CRT are very deep red.
Back to the topic: Not able to see this set, but the sets produced back then did have spark gap capacitors. Moisture often ruined them. Get the model number off of it. XXX.XXXXXXX The first 3 numbers is the manufacturer.
