After French took over the RCA, they started putting
weird location
marks: It goes like this: LL005 for fly, TL00x for transistor in
horizontal, TV00x for video transistor amps. So on. Totally
That second character 'L' might well stand for 'line' which is the
conventioal name for the hoprizontal deflection system over here. We talk
abvout the 'line output trnasistor' where you'd say 'HOT'.
Were the transistors in the vertical stages called 'TF00x'? 'F' being
'frame' or 'field' depending on how old you are.
