I have no idea why they thought it was smart to put 0 volts relative to the same pin they have you measuring from.
OK now that that's fixed and the TV is running as it should, (its running at 167 watts which is well within tolerance considering today's higher line voltages, and this TV was rated at 105-120V AC) now I just need to get a raster which its not producing inspite of having HV, Vertical and Horizontal running.

Its amazing though that one misinstalled electrolytic cap would cause that many issues.
