Phil, your message is in the archive but hasn't filtered thru MSN yet, this set does not use the SBX module it is about 5 years too early for that (1988 vs 1992-94). It has the tuner, PLL and MTS module (one that uses DIP IC and standard caps) all grouped togther on the left (As seen from the rear), Chassis uses a STR3035 reguator, It is some waht the poor earlier cousin to the TS20, it is of the series just before switch mode power supplies were used in the sets. (series prior to the LN-1 ie kv27ts27). PLL and tuner were resoldered, Yoke was replaced as it would wine while cold.

On antena it is fairly ok exept in cases where signal canacelation/ghosting is just right audio get mute and tinny. At the customers house running on cable (either system is comcast and is either standard cable or IRC I not sure which) Audio is almost not existant and is mostly just hiss (Pink noise) on channels higher than 6 ( VHF-H and cable). On antena CH 6 audio is picking up an ajoining radio station (88.7 FM) Although replacing the AC Bypass cap on the input with a .33 (up from .22) signifcantly reduces this. I wa looking for the sound IF but can't find any sound labeled coil...
