remove convergence yokes plugs 1 at time, power up see if +/-15 and +/-45 stay then plug back in 1 at time till see which one shuts down P/S which ever yoke plugged in that caused P/S to shutdown is problem if no +/-15 and +/-45 with all three conv yokes loose trouble shoot P/S If this model uses stk730-xxx have seen it intermittent also surface mount cap on both model check C19706 leaky replace with 239176 820pf chip and replace al 4 secondary rectifiers may check good but will break down under load. Usually just missing 1 of the +/- voltages though. hth Robert tvservice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx H & H Electronics Inc ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry E." <videotech@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, November 06, 2002 9:31 AM Subject: [TechAssist] PTK195KB convergence off/not there > > Hi guys, RCA PTK195KB, convergence way off, picture has the usual bow, > didn`t have schematic on the truck, set had 1.2 volts on positive 15v > line, -2.2 on -15v line, 26v line is good.
