I did buy at lot of items from Sears, tools, hand and power, appliances etc.
The future doesn't look too bright for Sears holdings.  |
Sears also used a lot of proprietary parts, including tubes. They were usually similar enough to more generic types so you could frequently substitute something common, but until you figured out what would work, it was common to have to purchase a $6-7.00 "Silvertone" tube from Sears instead of using a more generic tube that was commonly available for $1.00-2.00.
As I recall from the mid 1960's when I actually worked in TV repair, nobody really liked working on Silvertone sets.
