Hi Guys, I`ve got this 169 PTA light box in the shop that`s got no 
secondary voltages,
obviously I`ve got a problem with U4101 not driving the chopper. Set 
came in with fuse,
R4001 surge resistor, chopper, and U4101 shorted, replaced  (with oem 
parts) these
parts as well as C4102,4104, 4108, Cr4118 and now I don`t have any 
regulated B+ standby
voltages. Raw B+ is at 160 volts,  checked all parts between pin 14 of 
U4101 and base of chopper
pulled CR4116 to unload the reg. B+ to the HOT and still can`t get U4101 
to send pulses to base of chopper, I have the fluctuating 7-9 volts on 
pin 16 of U4101 and it`s on cathode of CR4101
but voltage only reads .3 volts on cathode of CR4106 and supposedly the 
cathodes of these
2 diodes are supposed to be within 1 volt of each other, I assume this 
is where my problem
is but can`t find it, I`ve pulled J1903 from the audio board and J1001 
from the PTV aux board
so they are not the problem, any ideas??? I don`t have any at this 
point, tia, Larry E
