Thanks John and Phil for your suggestions. This afternoon I esr'ed a bunch of capacitors and replaced about 8 that were open or high esr but the problem remains. IC1200 the video processor is runnung pretty hot. I don't know if this is normal but Tritronics lists it as NLA with a generic sub availible. At this point I am going to have to cut my losses and estimate a rebuilt board so I can get on to other estimates. "Sometimes you get the bear... Sometimes the bear gets you!"
