Thx for the replies..

I pulled the chassis to bring it home - the set is at my other house
and I did not have any tools there.

Therefore I have not replaced the fuse yet as I have nothing to
connect it to.

I was thingking about a low voltage issue because of the remote not
working, I just don't know where that fuse is in the ckt and something
is getting volts as it tries to start. Since it was near the horiz
section I made an assumption. could be wrong.
Don't know if the whistle I hear is the horiz freq or the switching
supply.

Sony KV-2784R died - horiz collapse - fuse F501 blown - pressing power

test OK with ohmmeter. Fuse is somewhat blackened at end where it
seperated, so it wasn't a slight overload. I do not have schematics.
Is there any history of common component failures here.Just for ref, I
am very technical and had a repair shop in the 80's - this was built
11/86 - just after I closed the shop. So speak to me at that level,
thx.

If you post your e-mail address, I can help you with the schematic.

I was thinking that is was the AC line fuse that was blackened.
however from what you said it doesn't sound like it. I don't know what
other fuse you could be referring to other than a small chemical fuse
on a 27 inch set though. Lenny.
