Here's what Force32 has on this set: Symptom: No Sound. A small number of Model 20MT133 may be found with no sound. Cause: CLUE: The voltage on pins 5 and 8 of Audio Out IC 7800 is very low (normal is 5.2 v) Resolution: Replace 7800 using Service Code 4835 209 88542. Applies To: 13J8, 13MT143S, 13PR20C121, 19PR21C121, 19PR21C122, 19PR21C125, 19PR21C222, 20MT133S, PR1306C121, PR1320C121, PR1392X121, PR1906C121, PR1906C122, PR1906C125, PR1921C121, PR1921C125, Symptom: There is a lack of sound at maximum volume setting. Resolution: Replace resistor 3615 (2K2) with 4822 051 20332 (3K3). This is SMD part located behind the connector which is just to rear of AV jacks. Applies To: 13MT143S, 13MT143S99, 20MS233S, 20MS233S99, 20MT133S, 20MT133S99, J8 Symptom: No sound or low sound on tuner, OK on AV input. IC 7000 ( 9322 152 70671) has failed. Cause: Electrical Over Stress of IC from CRT arc due to lead dress. Resolution: Dress black wire from 0227 on chassis to 0227 on Stereo CBA away from black wire that grounds CRT dag coating. Also dress 0227 wire away from CRT. This is very important to avoid future failures. Applies To: 20J8, 20MS233S Symptom: SOUND ONLY ON AV INPUT Cause: IC 7000 (signal processor) on the main CBA Resolution: Replace with Part Number 9322 152 70671. Applies To: 13J8, 13MT143S, 13MT143S99, 13PR20C121, 19J8, 19PR21C121, 19PR21C122, 19PR21C125, 19PR21C222, 19PS57C121, 19PS57C125, 20J8, 20MS233S, 20MS233S99, 20MT133S, 20MT133S99, PR1306C121, PR1320C121, PR1392X121, PR1906C121, PR1906C122, PR1906C125, PR1921C121, PR1921C125, PS1947C121, PS1947C125 Hope this helps, Dave Huston Huston TV & Electronics 2846 Marion-Cardington Rd.E.

The stations that are broadcasting stereo displays "mono" on the screen. The audio jacks work and the volume bar also functions. I have ESR'd the electro's, looked for open resistors and poor connections.... none found to be the problem. I did find a service manual listed but $50 plus S/H is out of the question plus the repairs. This set will not justify those kind of expenses. I should go buy a new set at $79 and tell the customer I repaired it and collect the money. However, I don't think the customer is that gullible. Any help or advice would be appreciated to save this repair.
