LeRoy; No....But if nothing else was shorted, change C916 in the Regulator circuit. 10ufd/250V. Good idea to ESR all the caps in Regulator circuit, as you know. But C916 is the cap that shorts out the H/O as a rule. As a rule..not cost effective to just pull the chassis, and hope for the best. -Ed- Ed Gaidies Tel-Tek Electronics Ontario-Canada teltek3@xxxxxxxxxxxx On 15-Aug-04, at 3:00 PM, LeRoy Westlund wrote: > 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.
