:scratch2: Is it normal for sams to skip a model? my orginal post back in december on silvertone console.I'll can find a model 141 and model 143A chassis 100.111,but riders calls mine a 142 chassis 100.115.the cabinet is just like the 143a but a different picture tube(143a is a 16rp4,142 is a 12lp4a) and the horiz. ouput tube is different at a quick glance at the circuit.

There are some things they missed. Sears is one this seems to happen to regularly...they seemed to have a lot of production changes and sometimes used different suppliers to build similiar models. Sams didn't miss many, though.

If I remember correctly, an item needed to have a minimum production run before Sams would produce a service folder. I seem to remember the number 10,000, but am not positive.
