Thanks in advance.
The squished horizontal is due to low voltage on the 8.6V--in fact all the DC voltages are low by about 15%.
(I have read all the 2235 power supply problems and got the schematics in large format.)
I have extensively probed the power section before the CRT HV section.
i have replaced some caps.
When i unplug Q9070 the voltages are fine so i am looking in the section the follows the mosfet-bottom of the schematic and Q908.
VR943 is flaky and it is connected to Q944 which the table says is a SI NPN 625MW, TO-92, Manu part # is TO7391E2-this is a pretty general description!
Before i replace the VR943 i want to check Q944.
i (think) equivalents may be MPSA42, MPSA55, MPSA14, BC337, BC547B.
Can anyone definitively state the proper equivalent?
