Please disregard. I see where Jon mentioned the "hidden" ones.

Did you include the tantalums on the backplane that are somewhat hidden behind
one of the interface boards (C60, C62, C64, C66)?

Yep, as I mentioned that is all out of the machine and I pulled said tants on
the backplane - no love. Which were your bd ones?
I kinda been down these roads... looking for next road :)
- to recap (pun intended)
- - 15 bad
-- to quickly check if a particular board (vert, horiz, cal, Z) I pulled jumpers
to each one by one. no love
- pulled main interface board which as Jon said has tants all over the place for
-15V - I measured as many as I could find - no love at all.
I'm tryign to finish the isolation of SMPS itself VERSUS a shorted element in
the mainframe. I guess Ill try to load down the PSU and see if standing by
itslef its OK or not.
TY for the advice - it seems like I am following the manuals correctly as well
as having read the internet accuratelty for what to do.
Oran- the manuals say to use a variac to decrease input AC voltage to
troubleshoot the SMPS.
Thanks for the help!
