Beauty is in the eye of the....

I need a SAMs for this set, but it is the Canadian version so not sure the model number for the equivalent american set. It needs new capacitors all around to correct image geometry issues. Any idea where to turn for a schematic would be appreciated.

The build quality on those old sets is rather good, even on the lower end models. The biggest complaint I have about sets from that era is the polystyrene cabinets are rather thin and they don't handle tube heat very well.

It is now set up in my bedroom with a Samsung blue ray player feeding it Netflix through an rf modulator. Tonight I am going to test all the tubes, and hopefully if I can come up with a schematic I will put in an order at mouser for new capacitors in short order. The picture has some issues, and there is also a focus jumper whose operation I don't fully understand

The focus jumper is to be set at the location that gives the best focus. I have often found that those jumpers don't do very much. I remember seeing sets like that in bedrooms back in the Seventies. I like the compactness of the suitcase style sets and they came in many screen sizes from seven inches to about 21. They all deserve to be saved if possible. Between digital converters, Roku boxes and RF modulators, just about any vintage set can be used daily for as long as you can keep them running.

I usually get my Sams either John Kendall or eBay.

What is the model number and I'll try to look it up.

Thanks for the offer Eric! I got impatient and ordered it from SAMs... Not a terrible price for a high resolution PDF and instant gratification I can't believe the tv only has three electrolytic capacitors! (One can)
