I wonder if it is the flyback. How old is this set? I had a similar Sony, and I replaced the fuse with a slow blow one, and I could smell the flyback burning.

Fuse F1602 is blown, I believe it's off the +B (regulator)? HOT is OK. I can't find any bad diodes or transistors. I could use tips and/or a service manual to troubleshoot this problem. This thing is built like a brick shit-house. Thanks. David Lessard Alexandria, Ontario.
