` The slo-blo bulletin that I'm familiar with is for the 3.15 gma type. If the low ohm resistors have changed in value wouldn't this indicate an over current / over heating condition? Unless I saw broken solder connections I would change the stk anyway as I have seen a lot of these go bad in a lot of different TV's including intermittently blowing the fuse as the only symptom. any time I can remember changing the fuse without changing the stk I've had to go back and change them even if there were broken solder connections.

I also remember a bulletin that said the STK's didn't fail all that often but to be sure and check all the low ohms resistors in that circuit. It's been my experience however, that replacing the STK's and a good resoldering usually does the trick. I'll try to find the bulletin about using Slo Blo fuses there. Walter --- "Phillip R.
