Its a shame too those sets were about 5 or 6 years old when they did stop making replacement parts/
I think that set I had the Tripler burned out and I did not have one and times where changing and I replaced it with a new zenith that a insurance company gave me because some vandals broke into a house and busted the screen out. Popped a tube in and watched the hell out of it.

If you are talking about the 15-37700-1 and 15-37701-1 (ECG792/793, in later chassis, the ECG794) processors, I don't think his E48 uses them. I had a similar set in the early 90s and had no problem with an Atari or NES connected. I did have to randomly replace the stupid 1 ohm 1W fusible resistors for the vertical - they would go at turn on, and a recap of the vertical fixed that.
The ECG792/793 pair was obsoleted, but remnants remain on eBay and with old-school distributorships. I have one of each - in original NAP bags.
