Sounds like you may have 2 problems. The first deals with the open line fuse (see the following): Symptom: Dead set. Open AC line fuse, 1500. Replacement may blow again. CLUE If degaussing coil is unplugged fuse blows will stop. Cause: Current parameters of degauss resistor and degauss coil Resolution: Remove degauss resistor 3523 (white rectangle) and replace using location 3507 with service code 2122 663 00019, a 3 ohm PTC resistor. Give close attention to the marking on the CBA for 3507.
