The smpa seems OK. Only thing I see is a shorted Q14401 HOT (2SC5148). The notorious "L401" in the base ckt looks securely soldered under magnafication. H. drive txfmr no cracks. I will of course resolder these before finishing, but does not seem to be the cause of the bad HOT. Any other histories? Phil Bader -- Philip Bader Jan Phyl TV Inc. (estab. 1976) 3420 Recker Hwy.
