ran it for about 90 min tonight w/o any smoke.
the 400 ohm 5w resistor is now 10w and is no longer black and too hot looking.
fixed the error in the Vert hold that had it at the far extreme of the control.

NO IDEA why some dweeb put in a 1.5 meg in for r91, works much better with a 1.3.
EDIT---
I may go over the IF setup one more time,, this time with a analog meter.
