Hey Jeff, We just recently had one these that gave us a hard time too. H.O.T was blown and came back with same problem days later. Diode DP-16 was found to be open as well as Cap CP08 100@35v. These parts are in the horiz drive cct. The diode is one of three in series. Check 'em all. HTH Keith Trumbla O/O B.E.M Electronics Est.1954 839 Ellice ave.
