It is indeed a Goldstar set, that is who is on the CRT's label.
I suspect your high voltage (HV) shutdown hunch is correct. Plugged TV into a Kil A Watt meter, Genrad variac, and an isolation transformer in that order. Here are the results:
TV+meter+variac+isolation trans, 97 VAC: Got normal no-signal picture, normal static in the audio, and 0.7 A draw.
TV+meter+variac+isolation trans, 120 VAC: same results as above except current draw was now 0.83 A. Picture and audio still normal.
TV+meter directly into power strip: TV shows black screen with green splotches, no audio, and draws 0.16 A.
The results above were the same regardless if the Degaussing coil was plugged in or not. It appears that my Variac and isolation transformer together are enough of a current limiter to allow it to fire up. I know these sets have an "excessive X Ray" shutdown feature, is that the same thing as HV shutdown?
