Hi again; getting weirder, Pin 11 and 12 of U4101 is running at 156 volts like it calls for. However the voltage is not on the collector of the Horizontal output and because of not the usual symptons that occur when the HOT is shorted, I did not check it. *BIG MISTAKE* It is shorted. What actually was happening that inside the U4101 regulator is a overcurrent sensor and when the current that is needed to keep the 156 volt line on pin 11&12 exceeds a *over current* value then the bottom half of the regulator will not run which will not produce the standby voltages that are needed to 'start' the set. I then replaced the Horizontal output and ran the set for a little bit and then started putting the set back together when it went out. The HOT shorted again. Any ideas on this??
