This set ate one set of new parts (Horiz output transistor, dual reg transistor (MX0541) and a .47 resistor) after about an hour. We had resoldered the drive transformer and other horiz items. Now we've got this set running again, but the Horiz Output Transistor = just seems to be running too hot. All voltage and waveforms from the sync = chip up to the base of the Horiz Output Transistor are perfect, but there is a = bit of "ringing" type distortion following the main pulse at the "primary" windings of the flyback. I've never had to replace a flyback on one of these Sony's because of = this type of problem, but I'm thinking that might be needed here. Does this match anyone else's experience?
