I installed another HOT. When I removed the old one which blew last night, there was goopy electrical tape around the transistor base. Maybe there was an arc.
This time around I tested +B. the TV had it set to 133VDC but turning the adjustment knob all the way to the right will bring it up to 140V. I tested by setting the multimeter to 500VDC range and putting one lead on ground and the other lead on the +B fuse.
