I've *never* see a schematic in an owner's manual ever !

I did. Once. It was a 13" Goldstar purchased around 1984 or so. Of course
the thing lasted till the CRT finaly faded out (14 years!)

Had Panasonic B&W TV in 1970 and a Montgomery Ward 5" B&W ac/dc in mid/late
1980s. Japan and Taiwan were of questionable quality at the times and very
doubtful service centers would have had schematics. Both also had o-scope
wave forms and parts lists.. Had to liquidate the Panasonic long before it
had problems. The 5" ended up being a good unit. It lasted around 10years
which seems good for its use and relative price at the time.

Wouldn't make much sense to send a printed manual with each unit going to
countries with Internet access, now.
