OK, tonight I pulled the main board and removed L14. Sure enough I found a wire broken. It came from the top of the coil down the side and to the terminal lug. It was broken in the middle. I unwound 1 coil and soldered it to the terminal. I then coated the coil with super Corona dope to secure the windings. Then I re-wrapped the coil with some yellow tape.



While I had the main board out, I checked all the other coils and they were good. The yellow tape had fallen off the other 2 so they got the dope and tape treatment.

I then pulled L15 again because I couldn't adjust the slugs. I think they were glued in place. I used the heat gun and applied just enough heat to loosen the slugs. After it cooled off the slugs could still be adjusted. I reinstalled it and the main board.

I also removed the filament dropping resistor and installed a 1N5408 diode in its place.

I reassembled it and turned it on. I got a picture but still no audio.



I then just started to twiddle the slugs on some of the audio coils. Viola! Real good clear audio. The picture and audio on this set is amazing. It's the best TV I've had so far!
