That fixed it , Wayne ! The emitter voltage was reading .16 with no signal, & .24 with signal. The voltage on pin 3 was .75 with no signal, &.11 with signal. The emitter .18 ohm 2 watt resistor (out of a junked chassis) brought my Emitter voltage down to (.10 & .18), and brought the voltage on pin-3 to (.05 & .08). The two other resistors were both within tolorance, so I didn't have to replace them. I couldn't measure the .18 ohm resistor, cause I don't have a meter that will read that low. All voltages are now correct, and stable. Unit has been running with a perfect picture now for 1/2 hour. Thanks to "All" the techs that took the time to responded to my problem. You were all very helpful. I couldn't have fixed this one without your help. I really appreciate all the techs on this list. Thanks, again.
