Update********* Thanks All and thanks Gary your 539-XXXXX started me checking. I had 6 numbers after the 539- I double checked for the model number, I found it to be C539-14972 Chassis # C539-51225 We will blame it on the gremlin in my keyboard. My gremlin apologizes for the mistake. However nothing else changes as I used the proper # when talking to Sears and nothing found on the web sites recommended. This set may very well be Canadian only.. I don't know. The label says SEARS CANADA. The set was also made in 1992. Perhaps sears doesn't go back this far?? They should! Can Sanyo help ?? Are they allowed to cross reference over to their own tv's?? PS I found a similar model number Sears 1993 model number in my scrap pile, I will check to see if a similar diode is in it.
