A cow-orker had a phillips maggie that was 'made in the US' according to the back panel. not a bad set, it toasted a horz transistor after a storm once, I fixed it, $5 for the transistor and a few lunch breaks and it's running gain for who knows how long but it's running. Looks better than the RCA CTC-187 that another cow-orker brought in to me.
Anyone know what the common problems are on the 187? It's totally dead and they'd like it to not be. Sounded like it was acting up in the micro area - classic Thompson bad soldering I guess? Where do i start looking? Power supply? Micro? Circuit City?
