Woohoo!  Turns out the only thing wrong was the horizontal output transistor
2SC5422.  The new one runs quite cool for an RCA ;)

The old one was burning up due to the failure mode - it didn't completely
short.  I could measure 1K ohm emitter - collector with my meter and at
running voltage who knows...  So with resistance present it just acted like
a giant toaster!

I'll add this to the database...
