I have a CTC157 in shop that came in with the main filter C4007 blown (top blown out) and at that time the SCR in PS was blown. I replaced both but no turn on . I than found that I didn't have startup voltage. Found the low voltage transformer was open primary side.found replacement for it got my low voltage back, when it turned it on relay clicked but immediately shut off, can't find any other thing bad. I then checked my B+ and I have same voltage on I/P and O/P of my SCR. It shorted again. the question is will the loss of the startup voltage cause the SCR to short when AC power is applied, or do I have some other problem. I believe that this TV had a power surge from line. Buck Pasher Buck's TV Gander Newfoundland Canada 709-256-7738 (Fax & Phone) -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
