This type of problem was a little
hard to find, but after it was
found, it made perfect sense to
what was wrong. (See the dia-
gram which is figure number two
for component location.)

R82 is a 820 ohm resistor and
when measured, had found to
have a resistance of 16.23 ohms
(This measurement is done with
the yoke unplugged from the
chassis.) Therefore, it was obvi-
ous that R82 somehow was in
parallel with RSI which has a
resistance of 15 ohms.

Then C49 (which should have
blocked the V de path between
RSI and R82) in the deflection
circuit was found to be at fault
with a resistance measurement of
1.23 ohms. Replace and verify.
Yep! That was it.
