Thanks John! (Good tip) ... I heated the T-Chip and the "black" blanking bar grew wider and then the entire screen was black, I cooled the T-chip and all returned to normal, so I put back in all the original resistors I replaced and I replaced the T-chip w/ new original.........All is playing on test bench fine so far! I'll keep ya' posted if all plays fine for the next few hours!
