The idea is to have fun & learn. Aint no Zenith flat chassis or
RCA 2000 but the price was right. As far as Sharp sets go I
will toss a bomb & see what happens. IMHO as usual....
Sharp sets are not a premium set & never were meant to be.
They did slip in a few gooduns now & then.
Tube sets were crappy, on a par with GE.
Early solid states were not bad but a pain to work on.
The next batch defined junk, remember all the RTRNF00**CEZZ FBT's
that went up in smoke ? Thats what you get for an under $200 19".
The set in question was not bad to deal with. All I remember
was the little square blue on/off relay that went bad L&R. Other
than that for the $$ it wasnt as bad as other "value" brands.
And one other thing with Sharp & many other of that era.
Without the OEM remote they are useless.
