As if the filaments were receiving 15V instead of 6V (of course the CRT socket is removed so that's not possible). R216 is still smoking with the CRT socket removed No time to measure voltages -- Best regards, Bil Green 2001 TV VCR Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546 760-934-2001 mailto:tv.vcrrepair@xxxxxxxxxxx ************************************************************************ ***** Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?".
