HUH????? First be sure what the problem might be. make sure the 200v is present on the neck PCB , the K (cathode) load resistor is good and the drive tranisitor isn't shorted or being driven into satuation by some other problem. If none of the above, you probably have a cathode to heater short which will drag the cathode bias way down thus driving the crt into saturation. You can then: a ) try isolating the the heater ( i never tried this on a PTV ) b) try "zapping" the short ( possible further damage) c) replace crt Jim McVey McVey Alltronix 327 Broadway Newburgh N.Y. 12550 "If it doesn't play...
