My Sears Medalist has a "One Button Color" push button switch just slightly below the UHF tuner and to the left. I have noticed that something is not quite jiving with the button and I just set the color manually; no big deal. The only problem that I have ever noted with this set is that after a good warm up period the contrast seems to change suddenly. Still a decent color picture albeit a bit duller than I might like when that happens. I wish that someone would get this set from me because it's not really an antique to me the way I see the older sets from the 40s and 50s, but it is a good set and here in the crap/flat panel era the set is growing more and more nostalgic. I would love to see a vintage electronics hobbyist get it and not a Goodwill where it will likely end up trashed. I have a lot of the oddball tubes that manufacturers were using at that time like Compactrons, so I may be able to supply extra tubes for the set. I have no other sets of that era, so I would like to get rid of all of the tubes like that that I have. If anyone has a need send me some numbers and I'll see if I have them.
