Dear Max: There is a very small (1/4 watt) resistor with a high resistance value(-something over 1 megohm if I remember right)that opens up sometimes, it supplies the power input to this Power Reg. STK730-010.However, if this resistor is open, then the Reg. is also gone too(seems likely from your description) Daniel --- "Maxwell Bailes Jr." <bailes4@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Subject: [tv-repair] RCA TV Chassis# CTC177AH > Lightning Damage > > > > Hello, > This set has lightning across the spark gap.
