I totally forgot about that.....I think I had to visually remember which way the flat edge of the transistor was placed before installing a new one. I suspect the CRT may be pulling too much current, but it isn't the fault...it's gotta be triggering the X-ray or overcurrent sense line some how. Also, if you installed Q2906 backwards you'll need to re - replace it. Been there, done that.
