Early 1960s Sears silvertone black and white tv repair

[JOJCANADA]

I got this set out of a shed a few years back but my knowledge of tv repair is shaky at best so I didn’t mess with it to much. What I did notice was that the fly back transformer definitely had some issues as you will see in the following pictures. I was also unable to find any sort of documentation or mention online, save for one picture that shows it. If anyone has any help or knowledge in regards to my next steps please feel free to post.

The following are some pictures of the set

Here are a few more pictures

The red wire in your hand looks like its the HV lead to the CRT. Its
pulled out of the white plastic HV "cup".
Probably broke off the HV rectifier socket. You will need to take apart
the HV cup to see.

Interesting to see the US$$ v Can $$ in the ad. The color set would be $300
& your B&W abt $140 US$.

I have taken a closer look at the set and especially the area you mentioned, the high voltage cap. Here is what i found, I also need a new 17BE3 damper tube as mine has gone to air.

There should be a big long model number on the back. Format
is ###.########
Post that & maybe I have a manual for it. If it has a 4 digit model number
that probably wont help.

I hope someone has a Simpson-Sears directory for those numbers. That TV was made either by Toshiba or Sanyo but the numbers don't cross to anything sold via Sears of Chicago.

Simple parts in them either way, so it is certainly worth the effort.

Based on Sears and Roebuck, the Sams Photofact index lists the numbers as 528.xxxxx for Warwick sets and 562.xxxxx and 564.xxxxx, 456.xxxxx for the Japanese manufacturers

It is a Canadian set I believe

As for the repairs it has no high voltage and the damper tube is bad, probably also needs a recap. Not sure of the crt as I don’t have a tester. Other than that I’m open to any and all comments.

What are the other numbers shown above what I think is the schematic on the flyback cage?

It could be fixed without a schematic if the parts are labeled or have colorings for size, but a few vital parts would need the schematic for cross reference.

Here is a better picture, it shows some of the tubes but it is quite worn.

You'll have to find a better model number (or chassis number) if you want a schematic. The one displayed on the back cover doesn't cross to anything.

As of yet I have not, so I would be very appreciative if you have the info for my set. I posted all serial numbers in previous posts on this thread so if you find any matches please send them my way.

Thanks

Hi Jojcanada.I found some service info that is very close but not exact.Chassis # c817-13500.I compared your layout picture to the one in the rcc manual.the vert and horz tubes are reversed.horz osc tube is different but the info should be close enough to give you and the forum enough to get the set going.if you want the info,pm me an email to send scans to,free of course.
