FINALLY FIXED!! -- read for the saga and solution
So why did I do a cap kit.... It was working ok but I had the game all apart so I though I should do it....
Everything looked great -- 2 hours later its dead.... its was good for 10 years before... now no static sound... no blown fuses...
transistors don't appear to be blown...
I used the from chart I got 167 volts on the big resistor(B+ spot wich was adjusted to 120 dead on before I let it sit for 2 hours). I check over and over the board for cracks thought I found 1 so I reflowed it nothing...
When I did the cap kit I resoldered the flyback and input pins sucked off the old solder first...
All I see now is the IC. Is that really how it goes just poof?
I don't see and burns or cracks in the flyback no smell of smoke or burn t parts...
I took off X701 like the flowchart said no joy.... same 167 volts on the case of X01
So where do I get a new IC? or anything else to check?
