Where to get schematic of Funai TV, Model FT1371?
Robert Macy
Or at least covering the PCB on the back of the CRT neck?

So you narrowed it down to that board?

After starting the thread,
"oops! coffee into the top of TV!"
and not receiving any URL's for a schematic I started this one, trying
to be more specific.
The liquid ran onto the HV electrode and HV cable that physically laid
on top of a bare connection on that PCB.
Just seemed that's probably the area that got damaged.

Thank you for that URL!
I didn't even think to try there, but sadly there's only a User's
Manual, which I have a copy of.

Thank you again for this URL, they did have a customer service contact
which replied to my request for a schematic for
Funai TV
Model FT1371

Unfortunately, this set is too old.
We do not keep parts for sets as far back as 2003.
We no longer have a copy of this manual to provide you with.
My apologies for this inconvenience.
Thank you.
So, where do I get a schematic?

That's illegal. Unless Federal law has changed. Which it might have. It used
to be 10 years.

Will check.
However, tax records kept 3 years, most statute of limitations are 7
years, legally declared dead after missing,7 years.
Maybe it is 7 years.

Funai isn't an American company. A lot of imported crap never had
repair parts availible in the US. that's one of many reasons why they
can sell so cheap. :(

And so-called "parts availability laws" are mostly urban legend.

I don't that statement is true, now or "back then".
I beleive the origins were based on the warranty period claimed, to prevent
lifetime warranties from becoming scams. If someone made a product and gave
a 5 year warranty, "the law" required them to stock parts for that period,
or offer a later replacement model as an exchange.
But there never was any law specifically saying repair parts had to be
stocked and available for 5, 7 or 10 years as most people think.
Whatever laws that were on the books were to prevent companies from making
outlandish claims like a 50 year warranty and then saying 3 years later we
don't have repair parts anymore so those warranties can't be honored.

USA Manufacturers were more willing to stock parts 'back
then'. Some tax laws were changed that caused a tax
liability on stocked parts and tons of stuff went to the
landfills shortly after.

Oddly, the website won't come in. Even if I do a search for Sams
photofacts index and click on selecting same address with /index etc
that doesn't come in either? The first is a blank screen for 1 hour,
the second is an hour glass cursor on the google search page for an
hour
Are they that busy?
Robert Macy
nevermind, the problem was something about out of date security
registration, just took a long time before my browser asked whether I
would accept anything form this site, not a bad shield, eh?
Robert Macy
Thanks again Mike
Found #3983, with tax, around $24 !!!!
Considering the original TV was $60 and I could take this TV to a
recycling center to obtain $5, that hurts.
What amazed me was that Funai customer service didn't even keep/offer
a digital form of schematic. Keeping the TV in front of our face
would be like advertising their name, but they don't support before
2003. Now, they've lost an opportunity and irritated a customer
In contrast, I was just talking with the owner of a successful firm
located in Florida. He proudly supports EVERYTHING they have sold
since 1985! Believe me, that committment has won him some contracts
and large follow-on orders from customers.

They weren't, 40 years ago.
