I asked if vts1134 had double checked his input voltage:

I hadn't until just now. It didn't occur to me that the meter could be off. Turns out it was. The built in meter reads low, 95v is actually more like 110v. 120v is more like 140v. Unfortunately with ACTUAL input voltages at line level the spark still happens in the 1X2, but ACTUAL input levels at 115 are ok. The last 10v on the input side are the killer.
Your next step should be to connect your set to a DVD recorder or anything that will give you an analog RF output and bring up your set at lower-normal-voltage and adjust the set to get it working the best you can.

Once all the controls are set correctly, your still slightly too high voltage may correct itself.
