I pulled this chassis to check a few things on the bench, cause it's such a monster of a set.. I found the H.O.T. ( 2SD1879 ) shorted. Question is: Can I check the B+ to the H.O.T. on the bench, without hooking the chassis back up to the rest of the TV ? I didn't pull the control panel. Is the B+ supposed to be there as soon as the power cord is plugged in, or does the power relay need to be energized before B+ to the H.O.T. can be produced ? I am working without a schematic, and I need to know if there is a fuse, or a resisitor in line from the power supply B+, to the H.O.T. Trying to save an extra trip, in case I may have missed something. TIA, LLW LeRoy Westlund Westlund TV & Electronics 97 North Main "Where there's a will,...
