I finally ordered another Sanyo 2SD1879 HOT (Q402) and replaced the cap C408 (4.7/160V)in the H. drive transformer circuit.It was just a bit low value at 4.3 mfd.Peace of mind replacement.Resoldered all over the area as well just to be safe. Before hand, I ran the set with my "test" HOT for days with no problems, so yoke is probably OK, HOT ran cool as well.My final replacement 2SD1879 runs cool,too. Maybe this was just a power fluctuation in the home.Happens. Phil Bader armando guerra wrote: > > Check and see if there is a C408,4.7mfd\160v.
