I guess your going to need a service manual to figure this one John. Perhaps
one of our very nice members could help you out in that department. They
really are a bunch of nice people...:-)

Ok, I checked the yoke, and it is fine. I had already replaced the
thermistor with an RCA 207768. When I replaced all the parts, I tried
bringing up the voltage on my variac, everything was fine. I got it up to
line voltage, and the set started cycling on and off (3 times) then dead. My
Resistor is toast again, but the hot tests fine. I don't have a print on
this set, and I didn't get much sleep last night, so maybe I am missing
something here. HELP!!!!!!!!!
