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

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.

I tried first putting a 100W bulb across the relay. (I was also afraid
of smoking the HOT), but it just barely lit with each click. so at
least nothing is shorted. Then I jumped it with a clip lead. Still
nothing. Difficult to tell why there is apparently no drive. Maybe I
should give up on this one. Sucks to give up though. Thanks for
everyones advice. Lenny.
