Came in dead, after a storm, replaced main regulator ic and several other transistors in power supply area. Comes on now but B+ is low (it's running at about 100 volts) & picture is of course narrow. Also the degaussing relay does not work, relay and related transistors check OK. Set works otherwise OK. Regulator circuit is hard to trace out, does anyone have a diagram for this set that I can use?
