The sets were surprisingly good runners but susceptible to
surges so dont leave plugged in when not in use. When ever a T-storm
came through a few would show up. Other downfall is they a misery
to work on ( physically ).

Two common problems I remember on that "last gasp" Orion chassis was a 100uf cap in the vertical that would cause top foldover/lines and destruction of the vertical IC if the owner kept using it. The other problem was the switching regulator transistor that would fail, due to lightning/power surge, but the ones I encountered always failed open. I'd stick a new one in, and the set would fire up.
