a quick explanation to how i got to this point.

Bought a mk2 cab about 5 years ago, monitor didn't work, i replaced the flyback, hot and did a full recap. It worked for a few years.
monitor went out again a couple years ago, i messed around with it with my limited troubleshooting knowledge couldn't ever get it to work so just sat it to the side.

A couple weeks ago I got a wild hair to fix it. watched mikes amateur arcade monitor repair and got to to work. I found R105 was open and T101 was no good. replaced those and got the lightbulb test to work.
hooked it back up to the monitor and had a very dark screen with looked like sync problems, did some more testing found that R235 was open, replaced it and got an improvement but now we're at this point.


thats what the monitor currently looks like and R219 is getting EXTREMELY hot as pictured below

I've replaced all the film capacitors, i've tested as much as i can test, i reflowed everything. I'm kind of lost atm. any help is appreciated.
