I don't think the vertical I/C that I replaced was bad. The problem seems to be that the B+ never gets up to 135v. It makes about 47v then shuts down and goes into standby. I found a dual diode that was shorted in the secondary but it supplies the audio amp and removing it did not make any difference in the low B+ problem. Unless the secondary needs an exact load in order to run, I am at a loss to know what is going on.

Pins 28 and 29. These are complimentary sawtooth waveforms, about 1.2v pk-pk.
