Jim it would seem to be hard to put in a service mode when it don't stay on long. No it is not worth much more time but since it belongs to me I will try again. The wabash flows from you area down to my area.

Which way does the Wabash flow? Toward the Mississippi? Ok, go ahead and dump it.

When I hit turn on I have a couple of seconds to take measurements. Then I have to unplug it to turn it on again. By doing this several times I found that the HOT has 90 vots on collector. Horiz. driver has 20.2. All voltages on the vert. IC are good. These voltages stay on for about 2 seconds. You can see a picture just before it shuts off.
