[TechAssist] Toshiba TZ50V61..HV too high?

Hi guys!

Customer called with Toshiba TZ50V61 with only front red light blinking.  I 
immediately thought "this will be easy" and made sure that I had the 2 STK's 
for convergence and an audio out chip with me (in case).  I was surprised to 
find a hv arc coming from the anode cap of the green crt instead!  I removed 
the cap, cleaned the area, installed a new cap and sealed it.  Great pix!  
Thought this was certainly better than replacing the STK's!
Three days later the customer called and said the set was arcing again.   I 
went back with a new green crt assembly even though I was sure that I had done 
a good "seal" job.
Surprise.. The HV divider assembly had cracked open on the side and hv was 
arcing everywhere.  I thought this was really too much of a coincidence so I 
ran out to the truck for the hv probe.  Of course it had been a LONG time since 
I used the probe in my truck and was not happy to see that it only measured up 
to 30KV.  Well, it pegged the probe but I know that the hv in this set would be 
35kv with nothing connected to the crts.
I ordered the divider and it arrived Friday night but I was wondering if anyone 
has any thoughts on this before I return.  

TIA
