I would disconnect each crt board and hv lead one at a time and try. Have seen several bad tubes on that model. The only other problem I have seen on that set is bad convergence amps, however that doesn't cause shutdown.

Never develops HV or audio, Will order the service manual today, but would like to know if anyone has seen this before (should say "heard" this before) tia, Larry E Larry Eastman American TV & Electronics Crystal River, Fl. 34428 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - This Email List is accessible to the general public through search engines.
