Montgomery Ward 1985 information?

[radiotvnut]

The whole TV was made by GoldStar. Back then, these were considered an economy brand; but, are miles better than anything made today.

Awesome! That's good news at least. Any way of finding some information out on this set? Btw I have some bad news. I hooked up the tube to my Sencore CR-7000 and I have no cutoff at all on the red, green, or blue gun. I'm going to hook up my CR-7000 to another color CRT and see if my cutoff is working properly.

EDIT: Tested another color CRT and cutoff works fine. Tested a small 5" b&w tube and cutoff works on it too. So there is something wrong with the CRT. ='(

Dont worry about cutoff. I bet it will work fine. I have plenty of crt sets that have no cutoff and have great pictures.

Ya I'll go with what you say. The only downfall with the CR-7000 I've noticed is that if there is no cutoff you can't proceed with the emission test. Unless there is a way I don't know of. Now that we know goldstar makes the set do I not look for schematics for Montgomery Ward anymore and start looking for goldstar schematics and info?
I can't find any information under GoldStar either.

There might a chassis number on the side of the heatsink around the flyback.
Also check the back edge of the pc board. Two letters, two numbers and maybe a suffix number.
The Sams index shows chassis numbers.
