OK. Does anyone have a SAMS for this set? I want to get it off the front porch and back to life.

If someone here doesn't speak up, you can get one directly from sams technical publishing
http://www.samswebsite.com/cart/cart...o=pf&id=132187 bout 15 bucks plus shipping. Get yourself a good variable temperature soldering station, a variac, solder vacuum or wick, some 60/40 rosin core solder, and a good work bench to prop the chassis up on while you work. Get your caps from justradios.com I was recommended to them from members here and have not been disappointed by pricing and service. Personally, I would just talk to Chad Hauris. He's worth the drive to get this set done quickly. He can help you out. You can tackle this one, but if this is your first and you want it done the right way the first time, take it to a pro

pass on that soldering station. Check out MCM electronics or parts express and get a good Weller temperature controlled solder station. They last forever and are well worth the money.

this one? and polaraman, which one would list the parts that I need? the service manual or the SAMS? I've seen some stuff in the service manuals and it all seems kinda scary. How many caps does the average old TV like this have, that need to be replaced?

that would be ok for most projects. However you may want something in the 50-80 watt range for the big filter caps, or grounding parts of the chassis that easily absorb heat.
Average caps can be from 20-50 paper depending on the TV.

Weller WTCPT. These things are the bomb.
 I think it used to be called WTCPS, if you see used ones on Ebay or whatever. John

You need a Sams folder! It lists and picture points every component. The lists show component values, replacement part#s, and some cross reference. I now find them to be very necessary and covienient for making parts order lists.
