Is it odd that the factory service manual shows this set when in actual practice nearly all the VT-71 sets were the regular rectangular mask?
It also lists the TS18 chassis, which I would assume came later in production but wouldn't the service manual have been prepared early on in the process?
Is there a revision date on that manual? Maybe these were made near the end of production to use up left over cabinets and masks?
And about that metal bottom, I seem to recall when I was fixing my first VT71 I had a bottom cover with no holes in it, I remember because I was planning to drill them but then managed to get the correct cover. Don't know if I still have it.
