I got the last ones at MAT Electronics in PA. I will do some more checking on this and let the group know before I throw it in the Wabash river.

Send it to mbonnell@shawneelink,net. The model is F32672SB. Also thanks to Phil, Bob & Jeff for your replys. Problem is: I repaired the set last month by replacing the HOT (BUH517) and found nothing else wrong & sent it home. I got it back with the HOT shorted, then replaced it and found a bad connection on T4301. Measuring from ground to the collector on the HOT reads about 20K ohms. Is that normal?

PartsFinder shows the service manual is on the Jan 1, 1998 CD ROM which did not come with a subscription and I don't have it. There is a zip file for CTC187CL3 that I can send to you on the chance it may help if you want. Let me know if and where to send it. ********************************************** Since 1972 Jim Myers Telrad Electronics Fort Wayne, Indiana Max Bonnell wrote: Millions of TV's out there.
