Leonard, In the TV tech program, double click the "solution" field, first line and search for that STRS6301. You will find some results that may help..depending on what manufacture's chassis that set uses. A lot of them specify caps to change.,.you may want to change the HOT as a precaution.

I have the manual and have replaced several leaky capacitors and repaired a bunch of marginal connections. The set will run for hours to days then blows the regulator. It does not seem to be running hot, nor do I see any symptoms that would indicate a problem. Just to be sure about the part I used my last Sony chip the last time I replaced it and it blew again. Any experience with these would be appreciated. I have checked the tips on the site and the archives, as well as Jeff's Tech Repair CD. The other issue is that it needs a little white balance adjustment and this was the series of sets that had the AKB without any adjustable parameters (what a dumb idea!). Anyone ever tinker with that circuit? The tube tests OK (yeah, that was a surprise) but it needs a little more red... Thanks, Leonard G.
