Wayne, According to the sticker inside this is a CTC130A chassis. There are two stand-up boards, one is a shielded tuner board called the MTT I'm told, the other board is the VIPUR power supply. I do have horizontal pulses but they are only present during the brief time the TV is on. As for Q601 I'm not sure about this part of the circuit yet because I don't have the schematic containing this ... yet. Thanks for the information Wayne, I will look into some of the things you mention and get back to you and the group if I discover anything I don't understand.
