Son of a...gun

Got my $20 worth out of my new meter tonight.

I finally figured out some basics on how the power supply works on this set and I didn't have any AC line voltage going in to it.

To make a long story short the Circuit Breaker is bad, it apparently blew out when I shorted the chassis and didn't reset, even though I pressed it a dozen times it never even made the slightest contact.

I would have figured this out sooner if the breaker wasn't such a PITA to access the lugs on without breaking anything else.
I finally got desperate and figured it HAD to be the breaker so I hooked a jumper across it and viola, it works again, this probably also explains the intermittent no start problem I was having as well.

Now I'm back to just having a white raster but at least I can continue recapping it, but enough for tonight, I can rest easier knowing I didn't ruin anything unobtanium.
