update: On the small signal (main) board,I found the jungle chip IC600 (TA8845AN/483531057458) outputs R,G,B on pins 18,19,20 repectively. Powered up and running, all 3 pins have same correct DC voltages. from here, the 3 signals go thru a series of components including SMD transistors, green buffer Q616, green clipper Q617, finally green driver Q605 (other colors have same arrangement) From the last in line, green drive Q605 outputs from it's emitter to connector J608 pin 5 (yellow plug) where it go up to the green CRT board, and is "daisey chained" to the other two CRTs. At this connector J608 is where the wide discrepencies are. J608 pin7(R) is almost zero vdc, pin5 (G) is +11.5VDC, and pin3(B) is zero VDC. So green is way up there. Preblem appears to be between where they leave IC600 and where they exit the board to the CRTs. But these are mostly all SMD, at front of board underneath, and running the set to take readings is hard. Tritronics has this board (or says their ASG119-TRI is a replacement for) this main board at $99.95 exchange. Am I foolish to persue component level repairs here? Any TS-ing assist appreciated.
