Jeff, most generally when ac fuse is blown and replacing fuse restores set, it is usually a line spike, when that cap finally gets bad enough it will knock the reg out,I suppose it would be possible to have intermittent stk since they employ hybrid film technology, but when used as regulators, I have not encountered that, and as earlier post mentioned, the degaussing thermistor falls apart,(disk seperates from leads), I just solder them back on(carefully, hth, have a good day. charles betzler Best Electronics repair1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "John @ Myers TV" <myerstv@xxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 3:26 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: RCA F26672..(CTC187AA) DEad, fuse open > HI Jeff, > > I've had a few here that turned out to be only the fuse.
