This set is a sharp chassis. R511 3.9 ohm 2W resistor was open. This lead to the vertical IC. Replacing the resistor , vertical IC ( X1224CE) cross to a TA8427K per Dale from Tritronics, and open 100mf@25V cap by the IC fixed the set. Thanks to Dale Goldspiel for the info. RCA # for IC was 228444 which was $20.
