Techs, This set came in with a shorted HOT (Q4401/217654/BUH517). Replaced HOT, checked driver transformer & C4306. Repaired TGP. HOT ran hot. Tried two other transistors. Also ran hot. These were RCA originals. Pulled one from a working set. Also ran hot. At the suggestion of a friend, put in a 2SD1556. Runs cool as can be. Don't claim to understand why. Just reporting the facts.
