I am looking at SAMS 3672 for the CTC187CL3 and the number for the switches is 215500. The number for the front panel PC board is 225698.

You have a leaky front panel switch! Replace front panel keyboard or all switches #207842 Give us the model number and we'll give you the part number for the keyboard.

Replaced F/B and H/O , ran set for 6 hours on bench. Customer picked up on Thursday. He returned with it on Monday. It is some times interment and won't start. When it does start it will run for 15-20 mins OK , then it will start to change channels every 1 or 2 secs, you also lose any control from the buttons (ON/OFF) etc. There is a connector that connects the front panel control board to the main chassis. If you pull the connector from the main chassis it will stop changing channels and will stay on the last one that was there before connector was pulled. It will run fine from that configuration.. Changed the EEPROM, checked soldering,checked switches on front panel and all to no removed remote receiver and still same. I haven't done the tuner job yet, so I will try that tomorrow Anyone have any ideas on this as its got me baffled.
