MT-3070 This is the model number of this Emerson
but tube is SANYO and the number on the tube it self 2M218 J
OH24G
anyways can you use aliminum foil as a jumper from the problem area and use
conductive material for to connect the foil to the trace..
this is another idea .. I have used the foil for some repairs it worked very
good.
