Toshiba CRT projection TV chassis TAC9855

[radiotvnut]

A friend found a '98 Toshiba rear projection TV on the curb and ask me to fix it if it can be done very cheaply. I've always hated working on this type of TV and swore years ago that I'd never touch another one; but, I told him I'd look at it. The problem is that it comes on very bright with retrace lines and then goes into shutdown (like what regular CRT sets do when the 200V supply to the video output stage is lost).

Working on this set, I'm reminded why I hate working on them. The wires on the chassis are not long enough to easily pull the chassis and flip it over for servicing. So, I had to disconnect most cables in order to get the chassis out so that I could flip it over. Of course, with everything unplugged, I can't fire up the set to take voltage measurements. And, laying on my stomach to work on it doesn't help much.

Does anyone have a service manual or any advice for this set? I don't plan on spending a lot of time on it and I'll probably end up making him pick it up and take it back to where he found it.
