Did you check all the caps on the B+ line?Open up the B+ and put a 100 watt light bulb to ground,maybe something is loaded it down.

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?
