Hello, Doing this mail with a VERY red face...Two Sony sets in shop for repair, both same model #..Both dead... Did power supply repairs.. sets came on but no HV...Did voltage checks everything seemed normal...Dusted off the scope..waveforms to the horiz driver ok.. collector of the driver was not even close. Put sets aside....Went to another Sony, different model # had power supply problem and shorted output...Dam output out of stock...hmmmm borrowed one from the other Sony...Same problem sound no picture CLICK CLICK CLICK.....removed output.. E/B measured 100 ohms and reversed measured 0ver 800 ohms...all outputs replaced all working now.......When first tested in the original sets, no shorts, measured emitter resistor and driver transformer to ground and 134V on collector.."Don't assume anything"....Was not going to post this, but I thought it may help someone in the future...BTW models were KV27TS32..Thanks to all that helped...
