hauled the SC chassis upstairs to take a look at it, and noticed as i mentioned before, it has been worked on before at least once if not more.
I also saw this right away.

burned resistor
it SHOULD BE100 ohms...

it checked at 187 ohms.
the cap with it is way bad too, should be 5mfd checks at 210 pf.
that being on the HOT cathode, I have doubts this TV was working very well at all like this when it was put in storage.
I will no doubt find many other crappy caps all over the set, and it's too risky to power up in this state as of now.
