I have this Sony KV35V35 come to me with the power supply in bad shape,
both of the 4834 transistors a condenser 2 resistors and the fuse resistor
were gone and the HOTransistor.I replaced everything and tried the set, on
variable transformer at 80 volts and everything went again. I ordered a
power supply from PTS, replaced the HOTransistor, and tried it again on 80
volts, It came on and ran for about 15 minutes, and everything went again.
any advice on this or should I trash the set? It is 10
years old.
Thanks for any help I
can get.

Did you solder the pins on the horizontal drive transformer? You must check
all of the connections to the HOT base because poor connections there will
blow it every time. Unfortunately, the power supply has no current limiting
so the chopper transistors go as well. This is a well known failure mode in
these sets.
