Damon, The CRT is OK, cause I'm running it on a 27" test jig. I left the rest of the set in the home, where it was doing exactly the same thing. The resistors check OK off the emitter of Q4101. You are right about "over currant" shut down being the problem, cause the voltage on the emitter of Q4101 is (.14) without a signal, and goes to ( .24 ) as soon as I connect the antenna on an active station. It should stay at (.14 ). Q2906 voltages are : E-No signal = 4.77 with signal = 4.33 B-No signal = 4.71 with signal = 4.27 C-No signal = .08 with signal = .18 LLW LeRoy Westlund Westlund TV & Electronics 97 North Main " I forgot,..to remember,..
