The pre-Philips magnavox solid states seem to have a lot of trouble with the modules. Every one of these I have worked on has had intermittents on the modules.
The Greeneville? Tennessee built N.A.P. magnavox sets do seem to be high quality...we repaired one recently at the shop that just had a bad cap, found it with the ESR meter and it has a great picture again. My parents bought one in about 91 and it is still going great.
It seems like the Mag sets went to pot at the time they started branding them "Philips-Magnavox"...these seem like el-cheapo sets from what I've seen, like they are Funai's or something.
