Thanks! Sadly I do not have any service data. Japan is a lot more stringent about "piracy" than the US. I can usually find a Sams scan for domestic equipment if I look hard enough, but for Japanese market stuff I often find myself SOL unless I get lucky and find someone selling a paper copy of the original service info. In this case I don't think it'll be too much of an annoyance because I've worked on a bunch of black and white TVs and am generally familiar with how they work, but in some other more involved projects (and things like Japanese home computers) it gets painful fast.

For example I ended up spending $60 on a rice paper schematic for a red Trinitron I imported because I needed the winding pinouts for the flyback - its part number was nonexistent online.
