Well, I found a shorted transistor and replaced that along with the fusible resistor in the B+ line. The B+ came down to 134 volts and appears to be regulating as I vary the AC input voltage. Now, it makes a light chirp at turn on and shuts down! The 134 volts may still be too much. I was thinking that the B+ runs around 100 for these sets; but, I could be wrong. I can't believe I'm wasting my time on this POS $79.99 Wal-Fart special. BTW, it's a Durabrand DU1301 made by Orion. I'm about ready to see how many feet I can throw it!
