The followups are much appreciated. Initially I checked regulator IC901 for shorts...none found, measured 164vdc across cap C910, just a tad bit high. Back to the suggestion about Q943, I do suspect problems as transitor test's showed...0 gain. Q944 is a digital, testing it also. ESR' on Cap C926 was good, but I think value has drifted. Am currently looking for a Q943 replacement. I recall once a tech mentioned problematic smd's after power surge on JVC's.

If those transistors are the ones in the feedback circuit that is likely a good tip. Low B+ on a JVC is often in that area.
