[Salvaged] 1978 Electrohome Electrocolor 13 inch TV

This set was made by JVC. The PAL 240V version was sold here as a JVC. I've had other JVC sets with the "EE" light. From memory it was some sort of auto contrast/brightness setting that used an ambient light sensor (on some models, not sure if this one had it). I think it would light red/orange or green depending on the setting, so you may have a bulb out. It may change when the door is opened so it doesn't interfere when you adjust the manuals controls - much like the door switch that turns off the AFT when the door over the tuning controls is open.

Cut power cords are usually taken by scrappers. When scrap prices are high enough they'll often break sets open to get the yokes, transformers and even internal wiring.

Yup its a JVC. Good sets & yours looks quite nice.

BTW on your screen shot the right is darker than the left.
If its like that in all scenes its an easy fix. Usually a 4.7mfd 350V
cap in the 200 volt supply. Happens to all brands,
put many steaks on the table

I was at a metals recycler and there was a 55 gallon drum, filled to the top with cut-off power cords. Wire with insulation on it isn't worth the real market value of scrap copper.
What is the scrap value of a power cord? Like $0.02.
