Mits VS6015R (again) almost fixed; what next?

Looks to me like power supply is working fine. Low voltage supply does not
regulate all voltages. As long as they're that close, it should work.
If TV
still won't power up, you've got either a bad vertical IC, and
possibly some
bad caps in it's circuit, or possibly a bad dynamic focus IC on
convergence
board. To check for bad focus IC, unplug the PA connector and see if
it will
start. To check the vertical IC (LA7838), either replace it or check pin1
(should be 9 to 12v), pin 8 (28v), pin 13 (28v), and pin 12
(13.5-14.5v). Pin
12 is the output, and may not show much for a second or two. If the
set isn't
making ANY High Voltage, the Horiz Output may have been blown by
runaway 130v.

When turned on before I started troubleshooting, I got no HV and no
sound. All I heard was a click sound of main relay turning on. First
thing to go were some inductors on the convergance board. So perhaps it
is the bad dynamic focus IC? Should I try powering this set on without
convergance board in set? Or are there some caps on the vert board that
need checking first?

If you do not have an ESR meter, you had better get one if you want to fix
this set. Do some searching on Mitsubishi and capacitor and you will find
detailed suggestions for identifying bad caps in these and other sets from
this era.
