John I found the problem by accident, switching the main board from other similar chassis set, I forgot to connect plug J431 coming from convergence bd, that lead me to suspect of that component, replaced it and no more problem. Remember before I removed the 3 crt boards with no success. I have the Force32 CD with the schematic, and those -H +H scan pulses derived from T801, the sweep transformer, are maybe overloaded, The fuse resistors in series are R2802 and R2803 750 ohms off pins 12/14 on T801, and R700 / R705 1.5k in the convergence bd, I think those pulses are pretty hi in value and needs to be reduced with those hi value resistors. Tomorrow I'm going to check carefully those resistors and the components related with the 11 to 20 volts enhance circuit on convergence bd. pete Perdomo TV Inc.

There is no real direct link between the circuits....???? 1. Convergence board runs off 11-15 volts...not 130v. 2. If the matched outputs for each color would short, there would be massive pix distortion with convergence, not a blowing of the HOT , even though we have 'dual' yokes. )defl. and conv. built together.) 3. The only direct link would be the + and - scan derived horz. pulses from T801, but if there buffers on the convergence board wew to short, those lines coming from T801 are fuseable resitors protected. These would go first, only .27 ohms, less than half an ohm. I believe that there is another force at work here causing this part to fail. ther is not anything I can think of on that board, even if you had a chorted yoke, that would do this. Only things I know that will knock out this HOT and nothing else is: 1. c811, off the collector of Q802. 2. T801 if it has a load breakdown internal short. 3. arcing of high voltage from any on the anode cups to one of the yokes. Only about 3/8" gap thereto jump, that directly is linked to the collector of Q802. 4.Checking of all higher voltage carring wires proper lead dress positioning..this has caused some problems also.

If somebody faced this problem before, I'll appreciated your help. pete Perdomo TV Inc.
