V2000 - Bad to Worse.

Damn It's going from bad to worse.
The monitor with no spot killer and no contrast just gave up completely
- plugged it in. No deflection and a burning smell.

Unplugged really quick. The 2 big resistors at the top of the deflection
board R100 and R101 are burning hot!

Checked the fuses. They appear OK surprisingly.

Checked for shorts. Couldn't find any.

plugged it back in (probably shouldn't have done that really) 1 of the
resistors got hot again but the other remained stone cold.

I'm beginning to think I should give up on this deflection board. It
always was a corroded piece of rubbish.

Anyone got a V2000 P299 deflection board FS or trade? or got any ideas
about how to revive this one?
