John, From Tech Repair CD: RCA\P52937YX2\Dead* making a chirping sound. Does not stop after three chirps\\\PTK195M26B\Shorted Q14401 horizontal output transistor caused by the lead of FB14402 (from Q14401-C to flyback)\Touching the foil path of raw B+ going to T14101 pin 3. Set is 4 months old but finally arced through the green coating.\\\\\\\ Jeff Dougherty Intrepid Video TV/VCR 263 S Front St Steelton PA 17113 fax...717-564-4952 www.intrepid-video.com www.tech-repair.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "John @ Myers TV" <myers_tv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 3:12 PM Subject: [TechAssist] RCA PTK 195 blows horizontal output Hello, Here's my latest dog. An RCA chassis (M#P52927 / ch# PTK195M26B) It blows the Horizontal output transistor after about 2 seconds. I've ruled out the splitter; Changed the flyback, and the horizontal output transistor (used original RCA parts on both). Double checked that I had the right transformer for the chassis. With the transistor out, I measured 169V at the collector terminal, in standby mode. The horizontal output circuit tests OK on my horizontal analyzer. Any ideas?
