According to Don Brown of Avweb, the FAC must be painted on the center radar
scope in order to issue vectors:
"As far as the "unable vectors" goes ... for controllers at the Centers, the
FAC (final approach course) must be depicted if we are to vector aircraft to
it. If it's not depicted, we can't vector for it. Period. Again, I don't
believe there is any way for a pilot to know this or find out ahead of time.
All you can do is ask."

Well, ATC has certain requirements in order to give you vectors to
final.
And those requirements are not always met even in a "radar environment".
For example -- my home base.
What are those requirements? Are you talking about MVA?
