And this is why I hate working on Solid State gear.
I was rotating the set to get to the Horiz Hold control and the tip of my Soldering Iron came in contact with the metal chassis of the TV, pow, dead set, I wish I had had one or the other on an Isolation Transformer!
I figured I blew the fuse, there are two fuses in this thing and one circuit breaker but none of them blew.
Funny thing is nothing else seems to be shorted or blown either, the set just won't run, the CRT heaters don't light either despite being on a separate transformer which is getting AC voltage as far as I can tell, however the workings of this set are a bit confusing to say the least.
I did check the CRT to see if the heaters are still ok and they are so it's a power problem.
I do get a dial light however, and when the set is plugged in but switched off I can clearly hear the Horizontal Oscillator running, it winds down though when I switch it on.
The set was having a power supply problem to start with, it didn't want to power on cold first try, tonight I had to switch it on and off about three times before it would start so maybe I just finished off a bad Filter in the PS somewhere?
I can upload the PS portion of the schematic if anyone thinks they can assist me here, I would sure appreciate it!
This thing is from another planet, or so it seems.
