Magnavox/Phillips MS3650C129 lightning

I need your help on this one.

Magnavox/Phillips MS3650C129 Chassis #36M800 7603 (other numbers 6560-BYV29X)

TV dead after lightning. Line fuse OK. Diode (board number) 6560 shorted. That's all I have found so far.

Replaced the diode with ECG598. Pushed the power button and heard the click of death. Replacement diode again shorted.

I called the number found in Sams index for Phillips and was sternly informed by a recorded voice to go to "thepartsstore.com". I didn't have any luck there. You need a password, which is only issued with an account number. Not desiring to submit financials to open an account for this one job, I quit looking for help from the manfacturer.

I would like to purchase a drawing and proceed from there. Is there a way around this roadblock--and would anyone have a suggestion on probable lightning damage patterns on this chassis?

Thanks

(I sold a new TV to the customer, so this one is mine and is not a rush job.)

6560 is the main supply (140V) rectifier. Check 7460 HOT and other stuff on the main supply. Schematic is available only on the Philips service CD, unless you can sweet-talk someone into sending it to their printer.
