UGGG If I never see one a gain it will be to soon.

The owner of the TV shop I worked for around 1980 kept modules on hand all the time for Quasars. If we got low on repairs, we all would rebuild modules. Usually, on the video module, it was resistors that had changed values. The key in all of this was tagging the defective module with its problem written out so that months later, we could know where to start.

We had a junked set that we used to test modules. Had a dim CRT, but looked good in a dark room.

My specialty was vertical modules, and the FA modules.
