I would replace CR4118. or Also check these: C4102 2.2uf 100v C4104 15uf 63v C4108 47uf 50v ( Sometimes This Is A 39uf) or Here is the standby voltages for the regulator device U4101. pin 1 0.03V PWM Control pin 2 0.27V Duty Cycle Control pin 3 0.06V Current Sense pin 4,5,12,13 GND pin 6 2.30V E in pin 7 2.88V S in pin 8 0.01V C2 pin 9 1.13V Slow Start pin 10 2.50V C0 pin 11 10.8V R0 pin 14 0.58V Output pin 15 10.9V V+ pin 16 10.8V Vcc or Try removing the HV lead from the bleeder assy. If it runs and you have about 30kv coming out of the IHVT, plug it back in and disconnect all three HV leads to the CRTs. If the bleeder is ok start rehooking tubes one at a time till the culprit shows up. (Bleeder might be bad) or What is happening at the fault detector input of the CPU? U3100(2). This should be at least 3.7 volts. If less than that it will cycle on and off 3 times or Unsolder b+ to audio final(S), or just pull audio final(S), if set starts up then they are shorted. They will cause set to pulse 3 times if they are shorted.
