Wow. Do an NTE search in their cross. It actually shows the D2578 as an" NTE2353/DAMPER" The unused silk screened holes marked CR14801 would take the place of an HOT without a damper. The D2578 in this chassis has no use for that diode . (see my later post) So, I'm confused(not unusual). ;-) Phil John at Main TV wrote: >OK, that's not fair, answering your own questions!
