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
S/N V03823066
January 1998

REPLY...
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.

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.
