To think, ~20 years ago, they actually created good(as in a product made of something other than plastic(Apple, cotica and non-electronics excluded)) products... To bad with these new technologies... Companies find that plastic is better, when many people would rather have an older T.V. that actually has some characteristics...
Good Video By-The-Way!

I have a very similar set but it won't turn on anymore. I'm trying to find the service manuals but the model and chassis numbers are erased. Can you tell me the chassis number and model of your tv? Thanks a lot!

I haven't seen a light sensor on any new TVs, but the LCD screens aren't as prone to washout. I fixed the crooked picture on my '88 GE by loosening the screw on the yoke (that big, ugly doughnut shaped thing with 4 coils that fits over the neck of the CRT) and tweaking it a bit. The rectangular-frame '80s screen made the crooked image really annoying. The bulgy '70s screen on my console would make a slight angle much less noticeable.
Really nice set! I work at Sears now selling electronics, and its amazing how much tvs have changed!

My Grandmother has a Sears brand TV that she bought in about 1990. She uses it daily. Probably the only real break it has had in Service is when she broke her leg and was away from home about a month. Still plays excellent.
I'm quite sure the light sensor on your set is to adjust picture brightness according to how well the room is illuminated.
It could be possible that the yoke is slightly out of alignment on the CRT.

That's a cool feature, the light sensor.
And yea, Sears does seem to make quality electronics. This one seems to have held up nicely, but I'm sure it's been treated very well.
