I always replace the caps with the same value on the set, The standby B+
must be 138-140V, running voltage 143-145V, .
Remove and clean the running voltage control, inside the black plastic
cover. 
check audio output chips removing the plug in the audio board.
Good luck

Hi all! 
I will list the work so far: 
15 V standby =3D 14.2
5V standby =3D4.9V
Raw B+=3D151V 
Regulated B+ is too high I think ...The meter does not like the signal
at TP4101 some times 197V sometimes 1.97V?? Should the Reg B+ be 143V
before turn on???? 
=A0=A0From cathode of CR4106 to Cathode of CR4101 first I had 2
Volts.... Now
after changing diodes I get 3 volts??? 
Should be under 1 Volt. 
Installed a startup kit from Global Q4101, U4101, C4102, C4118, C4108
(47uf) which also was a 47UF before. 
My schematic shows 39uf ?? does this make a difference?? Caps were
installed first with Q4101 , IC =A0 U4101 was installed 
afterwards. 
Also changed C4104(15uf) with also no change.
I also tried to isolate the H out (curiosity) - no change 
I've read many tips but most of these point to the parts that I've
already changed. 
Can someone brush up my 169 skills.
What am I missing?? 
Does anyone have a troubleshooting flow chart for the 169?? This would
help. 
BTW when you push the on button you can see the front led give a slight
single blink. 
TIA all !
All tips and comments welcome.
