HOT reads shorted in circuit, remove transistor and re-check, it reads fine, the real culprit is C715, it`s shorted and mine was cracked along the top, value is 2200pf @ 2kv the original part number 0244889 subs to 0244729 which is physically larger than the original which is blue and very small compared to the sub, both are the same value, thought I`d share this with everyone and save them waiting 2-3 days to get a transistor they don`t need and then having to wait 2-3 more days for the cap, which is of course what I did, Larry E ------------------------------------------ Make your TechAssist database better!
