An update: The 50mf/1.5ohm/transistor combo stopped the circuit breaker from tripping but I still have no raster. I replaced the transistor (on advice of my other source) with a Zenith 921-500 (replaces 800-764, 121-1029-01, ECG 165,SK3115,GE-237). I looked at the 10 ohm, 10 watt. I checked end-to-end
with the set off, got about 5W. Each end to ground was about 135V so the 130V source is present. The 10 ohm showed no sign of damage at all- no discoloration.
Are there any "live" measurements I can try?
My sincere thanks for your help.
