Not sure if you care to see model# (F19240GY) or chassis# (CTC185B) for the RCA television in question, so there's both of them.
The problem started with a television of my parents. Father told me that he smelled "burning insulation" and the TV died. Naturally, I tried to resurrect it, and found a blown fuse. I replaced it with a good one, but when I tried to power it on, nothing happened (no blown fuses, no picture, no sound, no ANYTHING), so I started poking with some ceramic resistors and found one that was open. I pulled that off the board, and with the understanding that this is often a symptom of a bad horiz. output transistor, I figured I'd test that next.
However, I have no clue what the thing looks like, and rather than pulling off random components, I thought I'd get a professional opinion or three. I have images
