Hello fellow techs,
                             Customer complains of white band across the 
picture, got it on the bench and seems to work fine except for 2 small lines 
moving up the screen, these lines are about as thin as 1 scan line and are 
separated by 2/3 of the screen. If we unplug the set from the isolation 
transformer and plug it into a non isolated outlet, the picture becomes very 
distorted with 2 large wide bands of distorted picture move up the screen and 
sound has a load hum, looks like open filter. I replaced main filter cap and 
few others that were marginal, replaced tuner isolation box, checked the ps 
diodes for leakage, maybe one of the ps diodes is leaking under load? What gets 
me is the fact that the isolation transformer makes it almost go away, so I am 
thinking some sort of grounding issue. It uses a STR30130 regulator and if you 
very the voltage to the set picture is rock steady. I do not have a schematic 
and sams does not cross, help, I am Stumped.
