I always liked working on Sylvania Supersets. It seemed like they always produced a fantastic picture, and were relatively easy to service.
Even in the 1990's, there were a couple of IC's that were nearly impossible to find. If I remember right (this is going back 20 years), the most common problem caused by the discontinued IC was no color. Without the internet to help, it was much harder in those days to locate discontinued and rare parts.
I remember one customer in particular who chewed me out royally, and accused me of trying to somehow cheat him when I told him I couldn't repair his Superset because I couldn't get the discontinued chip. He then took his set to another local shop, who charged him $25 for an estimate....and ended up telling him the same thing.
