Hi All
I'm looking at my neighbor's TV set which is a Magnavox model RS2568 chassis # 25Y105-00AA. There is a little 2.5Amp B+ fuse that looks like a 1/2 watt resistor that opened. If I can fit it...will a glass pigtail of the same rating work? The horizontal output transistor is shorted (NTE 2353). The replacement tansistor is rather expensive so I don't want to pop the new one. Is there something that could have caused it to short. I have made that mistake before by not checking further. So any suggestions on what else to check for would be appreciated, if there is anyone out there who might be familiar with this chassis.
Thanks
