I have a feeling that when he does that, the horizontal out put will go up

getting to the horizontal and or vertical output stages. There are many
things that can stop the drive pulses.

I've never seen a Sony damaged from lack of horizontal drive (except
when it loses it intermittently while it's running). If it does blow
the HOT, at least he'll know where to look next rather than wasting
more time on the power supply.
