Jeff, first thing you need to do is CHANGE CR4118, don`t test it because they are notorious for failing under load (such as startup) also check cr4118`s filter C4145. The designation; <72-A> is the grid designation on the paper schematic, Reg B+ in standby at CR4116`s cathode should be 143-160 in run it should be approx. 143 volts. You didn`t mention which caps so I`ll mention the most notorious, C4102 the 2.2uf @ 100v,(just replace it) Do you have 12-13 volts on the collector of the horiz. drive transistor in standby mode? Have you pulled the anode lead from the splitter to see if the set stays up with audio? Did you check to see if it`s wet around Y4301 & C3810 ? that cap will leak and destroy the crystal which is for horiz. drive, the board will look wet and if you unsolder the crystal it will smell fishy. Part # for crystal is 200210, it`s located at the right end of the big chip and it`s blue.Is your 5 volt line running in standby ? Do you have clock and data 5 volt line(s) ? 5 volts on pin 1 of U3101? If not CR3101 is probably shorted or not zenering at 5.6 volts, C4108 will also cause standby B+ too be too high, There are soooo many things that can kill that set, check the above and reply again, remember, change CR4118 every single time you work on a 169, I hope this helps you out, Larry E Larry Eastman American TV & Electronics Crystal River, Fl. 34428 Intrepid Video Support wrote: > Still working on this, can not figure out why it is shutting down as HV > builds. > Would a defective vertical section cause this set to shut down? > REG B+ is 170 in standby, drops to 162 when I press power..is this normal on > this set? > Schematic shows Reg B+ <72-A>, Not sure what that means. > I've repaired many of these with a splitter, flyback or replacing the parts > in the power supply. > I've done all this and set still shuts.
