I would like to know : If there is a problem in the horiz section or elsewhere will it cause the P.S. to give wrong standby voltages when the set is off and won't turn on??. I must establish if the problem is in the PS or not. When you read the hints on the fishe(RCA) it says that, if you have the 5 V standby then the problem is probably elsewhere. I have the 5V but the 15V standby is at 14.2 and the 143 is high and my meter is having trouble reading the voltage. Changed the meter and the same thing. 3 Volts also between the cathodes of two diodes at PS (#'s escape me right now) is too high .All say that this should be <1V when in standby If you read my first posts you will see that I've changed many of the usual parts. I must establish if the PS should give proper voltages on it's own when plugged into the wall and possible problems elsewhere???
