Ultra cheapie! Other than the shorted HOT Q401(D2599) no other shorts or opens found.Replaced the HOT and did a "load test" with my Sencore HA2500 horiz. analyzer.Results: "limiting..." meant excessive HV loading.Unplugged yoke,problem gone,good load test. Rang yoke,Bad. Saw darkened areas on windings. Bad yoke destroyed the HOT. Found a 13" Memorex TVCR yoke,same appearances and ohms.Plugged in exactly. Re-did load test...Passed. Installed yoke,reversed vert wires.Works. Picture now fluctuates with brightness variations: Open regulator resistor R503 (1.5 ohm,2W) front of the STR30110. Replaced resistor. Powered up,ran good 30 seconds,went out. HOT shorted again. Must consider the source...Orion...$89.00... Even McDonalds can't make hamburgers outa horse poop.. Phil Bader.
