While digging a bit deeper I decided to monitor the raw 150V +B which is derived via bridge rectifier consisting of CR101-CR104, this bridge's AC is supplied via 2.7ohm/15w resistor R102. Anyway while monitoring the 150VDC I noticed that evertime the TV tried to fire-up the raw +B would drop dramatically, almost in half before it would "click" - "shutdown" and start the cycle again. I suspected R102 breaking down under load and swapped it with a known-good resistor, same problem!! Question is what would cause +B to drop dramatically? What is causing such a load? Again, I'm stumped but still digging.
