Bob,
Thanks for the reply...I kind of placed a cap in backwards...replaced and unit 
is fine...
Vertical IC still runs warm, but I can't find any other problems.

Jeff,
       Most likely not a component repair...Scrape the paint away from foil,
look for hair line cracks.  Found a few from the supply diode at the fly,
right corner to the vert fuse resistor.. Its so erratic ohm test  will not
find it... SMD's  C2103M 220pf/50v pin 2&4 IC2100  C2107M 1000pf/50v pin 5
to ground IC2100... There is a manual I downloaded B25A11.. that you can use
for this model..

Bob,
