21-CT-55 power supply failure

[miniman82]

I took a bunch of readings tonight, all done with an live picture on the screen and all circuits functioning.

Pin 3 of the ballast is a 430 ohm resistor, which feeds all 285v circuits that are not IF/tuner related. The voltage drop accross it is 96 volts, which according to ohms law means it's dissipating 21 watts. Inserting the current meter indicated that the circuits are drawing about 88ma from that pin.

Pin 2 of the ballast is an 800 ohm resistor, feeding IF/tuner. Voltage accross it is 70 volts, indicating a 6 watt dissipation. The circuits of this leg only draw 34ma, but that makes sense to me since there are a lot more plates to feed on the other leg.

Horizontal is still goofy. Something has GOT to be causing the HOT to draw excessive current, but I cannot figure out what it is. The loaded down horizontal section has got to be what's causing all the other issues, it's the only thing in common with every part of the set. Whatever it is, it doesn't seem to be affecting HV though.
