We're using Orion service manual. TV came in dead. HOT was shorted, C446 
(1@160v) in horizontal driver circuit was open, and R506 (180 ohm @ 20w) in 
regulator was open. Then no vertical deflection. Changed vertical out ic401 
(LA78041). Then had picture but no B+ regulation. STR30110 was shorted and 
R515 (1.5@3w) was open. Changed those parts, but raster is pulled in on 
sides, with B+ of only 110v. Schematic shows output of regulator is supposed 
to be 135v (even though it's an STR30110). Pin 5 of STR is 0, but should be 
6.9v. We used the light bulb technique to eliminate the horizontal section 
and regulated voltage didn't improve. Checked all resistors and caps in 
regulator and tried another STR. Unfortunately, both STR's were purchased 
from same place and have same #'s.

Bad batch of STR's? Any suggestions appreciated.
