Kevin, I would also suspect C511 and IC501. I am going to send you privately a PDF document on the pincushion circuit for this set since I cannot send it to the list as an attachment. See the following also: SYMPTOMS Unit has severe over scan of horizontal sweep. Tech replaced Q512 Shorted and Q511 open all elements. RESOLUTION Measuring the collector of Q512 tech finds the voltage running in excess of -7 volts. The voltage on this transistor in inconsistent with the symptom on the screen of a narrow raster that is hourglass shaped. L511 and Q512 are burning up. Suggest the tech replace the following additional components D502, D503, D504, C511, and C513. See E17958715 on reason L511 is overheating. If there is no input to Q511 then L511 will heat up. Make sure IC501/pins 5 & 6 have proper waveforms. See attachments.
