Charles,

Due to the genorosity, I now have the schematic and chassis layout pages to look at and get started. Thanks for the offer to look and post. Hope I got to you before you went nuts trying to dig it out.
Will I be flipping the set on it's side or top to remove the bottom metal cover plate allowing access to the underside of the chassis for desoldering, etc? I won't have to remove the chassis itself from the set to perform any testing, is that correct? Also, do I have to fear getting zapped by stored cap charges anywhere in the set when working on it in the coming days or weeks (when in unplugged mode, of course)? We have to be very careful when working on guitar amps as the caps often hold very high voltage charges for quite some time after unplugging and must be drained first. Not aware if the tv has the same caveats. I'd hate for the membership to wonder what that glow was off in the distance in the coming days! Not the way I'd like to start the testing process. Thanks.
