Today i changed the fly with a brand new one, changed the reg and put a new hot in too, checked both the primary ps and hot curcuit carefuly. could not find anything bad. So i put power too it and emediatly when plugged in main fuse blows also causing q14101 to short also. any ore sugestions on the set would be great.

What you must do is cut the circuit in half......is it the h.o. circuit or the power supply. Get the horizontal out of the picture by disconnecting the fly and put a load ( l.bulb)on the 135 volt rail. You obviously don't have a dc short on the transistor (you don't do you?) which leads me to believe it's the fly. Get it out of there and see. I have the Sencore HA2500 Horizontal Analyzer which makes quick work of this kind of stuff. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Barnett" <passthecash@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, November 16, 2001 10:53 AM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: RCA 32GT720 chassis CTC203CF3 no power blows Q14401 > > Thanks for the suggustion, i've heard of this test however i have never > tried it.
