U4101V=STK730-150=$13=RCA # 223948 was fine but I replaced it anyway
RT4201=degauss thermistor needed resoldering

I did not get a chance to put it on the bench yet.Thanks in advance
for help on those RCA trouble makers/profit drainers

Put the original STK back, I'm sure it's fine. Replace the two electrolytics in
the circuit before turning it back on. Either the STK was an "SK" (chinese
ripoff junk copy), or the TV was off long enough for the two electrolytics to
ESR themselves silly to take out the STK.

BTW, are you sure the fly was bad? Uncommon failure for the 187.
