Gary,
From RCA Fix Finder:

X-Ray Shutdown due to excessive Reg B+; Using a variac to control Reg B+,
U1001-30 was measured at .5V; Checking in Reg B+ circuit, R4157 was found to
be open. Replacing it restored normal B+ regulation. (Note: In this version
R4157 is actually a 143K instead of 95.3K, R4158 is an alternate value &
R4170 is not installed) .

Note: RCA Parts Finder lists the two values indicated above (143K and
95.3K). I guess it depends on the set. The RCA part numbers are as follows
for the two:

143K - RCA# 184980
95.3K - RCA# 217311
