Thank you radiotvnut,
I have a dim bulb tester and a variac. Should I remove the fuse and connect the DBT to the fuse socket (Fuse is still good by the way) or can I plug the TV power cord into the outlet of the DBT and the DBT to variac, variac to wall outlet?
I have ordered 4 of the transistors, just incase. Also, my brother in law has had work done on this tv before. He said that the TV tube was changed. He thought it was the tube again that went bad. When I took out the board and turned it over to unsolder that transistor, that was the only solder joints that had a bunch of solder flux left on it. All other joints were clean. I think this part has been changed before and only part that has been changed. The amount of dust that was on and around the TV tube was a lot thicker compared to the amount on the board. Even the front control board had more dust than the main board. The tube was supposedly changed about 2 yrs ago, but, who knows.
Thank you again
David
