so i was trying to adjust the focus like mentioned before, no luck ( i was just going to settle on how it looked) so i unplugged the coax and was going to unplug power and pow. the coax cable touched the heatsink to the power supply transistor. it left a big old hole in the outside of my coax cable and a burn mark on the heatsink. abviously the set shut off and would not turn back on. so i looked and the fuse was blown, now i did not have another fuse, so just to see if it would be okay until i got a fuse i bypass it and proceed to hook it up to a dim bulb tester i use on my tube radios. i turned it on and got nothing from the tv, however the bulb was glowing very dimly, so i plugged it into full current and it made a sound like it was degausing and then nothing. i tryed turning it off and on and nothing, not even the noise. i can tell it is drawing current for a second because the lights dim for a split second when turned on, however no other signs of life.
