I'm measuring 22 ohms dc resistance from Base to Emitter either polarity. The datasheet doesn't show a built-in resistor, or Damper Diode, so I think I have a Shorted HOT ! It's just shows it as a normal NPN Horizontal Output Transistor. Thanks for any advice ! Randy J. Evans VCR SERVICE Delta, Ohio __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
