Very common for bad flybacks. Have you scoped the waveform at the collector of the HOT? You should see the ugly waveform.

RCA F32444 , AC is applied to the set it comes on, stays on for about 5-7 seconds then shut down. Standby voltage on the collector of the HOT is 129V. When the set is turned on the collector voltag drops to 60v , within about 15-20 seconds the heat sink for the HOT becomes so hot you can barely touch it.. When I remove the Hot the set does not go into shut down. Any help will be appreciated Will Soundview Electronics ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - This Email List is accessible to the general public through search engines.
