The pulses are about 4 or 5 hundred p/p. I scoped it at the collector of the HOT, but with only 47v I didn't expect much else. The slow start circuitry that you mention seems to fit what is going on.This set is Mar. 2004. I have been checking the scan derived voltages to see if something could be the cause there, but haven't found anything yet. The markings on the chassis are not helping either. I have found mismarked components and the 6's,8's and 9's are hard to tell the difference. Then to make matters worse the customer is moving and wants the TV today. Love this business!

I haven't paid attention to the actual startup of these, but there are several sets now that are using a "slow start" in the horizontal section. They will typically run the output transistor at 20Khz or so for a couple of seconds then drop down to 15K and the set comes up at full power. It uses the start up time to determine if all supplies are coming up. I don't see the audio supply being monitored anywhere.
