Even back then honesty was less common than common sense.
After CATV came in we started getting lightning jobs that were total losses
instead of gravy jobs. If we found blasted trace or burned antenna isolation
units we totaled it. Pissed a few people off but a good hit would take out the PS, tuner, half the IC's & a lot of small stuff. Its what EMP will do.

Yes, and you spend hours trying to fix that crap, only to discover that the TV is a dud and the time you spent fooling with that set, you could have fixed 3 or 4 easy fixes that would have turned into a payday.
