Well, I have tried the advice given and I appreciate everbody's time but I am stumped. I should obtain a schematic but I usually never mess with this type of newer set and I thought it would be simple since I get it to run perfect with low line voltage.
If someone could review the schematic for me I would appreciate it. I will be posting some good photos of my Motorola and RCA combos restorations soon to try to return the favor. If everybody is too busy I would understand.
After I read the previous advice I thought the regulator kit makes alot of sense but I was not sure where to get it soon and I just pulled the regulator which is an SCR and it seemed to not be shorted but I forget the ohm meter check for it so I tried a similar SCR which functioned the same in the set. So, I tried checking various components for shorts and pulled resistors and pulled R136 which connects a HOT line to U103(U4103 on set back info) The set functions the same way when R136 and U103 are removed so I looked for somthing on those lines that is shorted and can find nothing. I want to throw the set away but it works so good. If anybody could advise I will be appreciative.
Thanks John
