I hit "send" too quick: I pulled the red/black power wire plug to the convergence PS board (J19700). Clipped a 100W test lamp across the main AC fuse holder, plugged in AC cord and dim glow indicating no short. I then plugged in the plug to the conv. board and my test lame went bright. Short on the converg. power supply board. PS diodes test OK, I bet the STK is bad. Thanks!
