Hello. If the power supply runs but the output is too high, check Q604 (2SC4423) for short base to emitter. The power supply should run in standby when off, the collector of the HOT should be about 80 volts. If you need to replace Q601 you must use the original transistor type or it will overheat and fail in a few days (you can use a NTE2308 to test the set). BTW, IC681 (upc78L05J) is a common failure causing a lot of strange problems when the output is too high (more than 5 volts). I have also had bad POI D612 (TLP621 or NTE3098). You can short Q693 base to ground to force the power on and I use a light bulb to load the +130v line (the set will not come on even tho PS at full unless you push the power button. John.
