I seem to remember that these sets also seem to develop problems in the 12V. ckt, often causing a dead set. Seems that often a zener would short and kill that line. Not a hard fix. Also, the standby tranny sometimes got killed, I guess by a surge. Again, not a hard fix--IF you can get one. As stated before--the blue relay and the supression diode that often would short across the coil--causing a dead set. ALL of those were easy fixes.
All in all--these are not hard sets to repair. By now--you likely will need to replace a few caps in the vertical ckt. Not sure if this one uses a chip out for vertical or discrete outs. ON the somewhat unlikely chance of a bad fly--I think they will be available and are NOT hard to change--nor too expensive. As stated--the generation before these ATE flybacks--particularly the 19 inch sets !! IF your tube is good (kinda "iffy, I saw nearly NEW sharps os this era with VERY bad tubes--and a LOT that had decent tubes too..), it IS a fair set to repair and flip.
They just do NOT float my boat...too new, too boring, too common. I sent one like it, along with a JVC and a MAG set of the late 90's--to the dump when I moved my garage....need the room for vintage stuff.
