Pretty sure if it has the big audio / regulator IC the
H out didnt blow. Most the audio failed with crackling.
Also they loved to get cold joints. The FBT was usually the culprit.
Also look at the little disc caps going E-C of the HOT. IIRC
this had the 220pf that shorted often.
Story. I think it was this model. Set came in, bad HOT, FBT, fuse.
Customer said to junk it so I put the chassis in our junk yard.
Another came in a few days later same problems. Put that
chassis on top of the other & happened to look at the serial
tags. CONSECUTIVE !! Called both customers. They both
got there sets at Lechmeres on xmas eve..........
Both ran abt 15 yrs without service & died within days
of each other. Maybe they do put timers in them.
