I was recently given a Phillips 33FL1785/61R television. It is a 250volt,
NTSC model.

Everyone is making suggestions but has anyone actually looked at the
schematic? It is quite possible that besides the main power supply,
there is a standby power supply and just modifying the switcher won't
deal with that. It may use a transformer or who knows what?
