Keep in mind I'm not at home so I can't do any troubleshooting, but the fuse occurred to me as well...but not for the same reason. First, I assume if the 375V circuit is blown, I would still get something close to the 0.75 amp draw the TV had after the pop correct? Second, the yoke is OK...I ohmed it out and it seems fine. I think I know how this happened. The jumper I put on the speaker plug to connect the 375V to the rest of the set was an alligator clip wire. Every time I worked on this, I had the speaker cable and jumper dangling off the workbench so it wouldn't contact anything accidently. Last night it was on my disorganized and tool filled bench and when I turned the chassis to the side to get to the rear controls, the jumper was close to the metal base of a gooseneck desk lamp I was using as a work light. I think it may have contacted the metal base and shorted the 375V line, taking out the fuse. The usual stupid, stupid, stupid on my part. We'll see. I'll check it tonight.
