Members of the forum "Elektrotanya" have collected a nice set of service manuals and schematics over the years: https://elektrotanya.com/content/about-site

I also see Polish forums when looking for TV stuff but I don't have a specific suggestion for that corner of the web.

Ah that is great, thanks for that - I’ll spend some time digging in to see if I can indeed restore these TV’s. Would be so nice to wire up the Sony and use it for something, probably log related, lol ..

Note that I'm only appreciating them from a safe distance (and from the front). For an introductory list of the many things that can harm someone opening the cover, here's one: https://www.ifixit.com/Troubleshooting/Television/CRT+Repair...

Oh yeah, one of the reasons I’ve not yet poked at any of these TV’s with a screwdriver myself (besides the fact that my country offers a 50% credit on electronics repair by certified repair buro’s) is due to early childhood trauma getting zapped by a TV in some empty lot I once tinkered with .. ;)
