Kevin, I had this happen to me on a ctc148 (I think) and it ran me in
circles. Check the voltage on the transistor. Mine was high and I couldn't
figure out where the extra voltage was coming from. After lots of searching
it turned out to be a cap in the vertical circuit leaking the extra voltage
to that line. Did you use the correct part, maybe you got a bad one. Just a
thought.
