Just the HOT and the pico fuse is a common failure in addition to the normal resoldering of the h-drive transformer and flyback. I'd put in a new fuse or a jumper in place of the pico fuse and put the light bulb in place of the main ac fuse to t.e.s.t. it.

This oldie came in with shorted HOT (610697) and open pica fuse F401. there is a 200v and 250v cap that ESR fine. Are there any other common failures on this? Reason I ask, I placed a light bulb across the pica fuse and the set would still not fire up. During, I checked voltage on HOT which was very low, about 25vdc. Maybe this method doesn't work for this chassis. I also checked the REG IC and there were no pins shorted, so I won't know anything else on this until I get the supply voltage going to it.
