If so, the RCA dealers I worked for did not get anything like this.
Do you have any for 1964-72 color sets?  |
They are from Zenith's Tech Topics - I have an incomplete set from 1970 to about 1978. Doug (DRH4683) also has some - probably more than I do. Zenith provided these to authorized repair centers on a monthly basis, and we always picked up a stack at the Zenith training seminar. I went to a total of 2, but my father went to several dozen Zenith training seminars, and some RCA, NAP and even Sencore seminars. I got my Dad's collection of service data from his shop - mostly older stuff, as he sold anything newer than 1998 to another service shop when he retired.
RCA had their "Goldenrod" supplements - orangish-gold paper supplements to their service literature. I've got from CTC53 - CTC90. Later, Thomson issued complete field trouble reports - three types - TV, VCR, and Projection. I have all three for the CTC175-CTC203 era, along with all of their ESI disks and manuals, along with a Chipper Checker suite - almost useless today.
I've got Sony, Hitachi, LG, Motorola, Zenith, Philco, and Panasonic/technics, Samsung. NAP and RCA data, much more than Sams covered - and I still have my Sams (sets 100-1900) Anything newer from Sams, I don't have....
And thanks to Bryan Gadow, I even have Sears service manuals for 70s-late 80s stuff, but no index.
