OK. Your PC and MDA card seem to be OK.

Now trace through the horizontail circuit in the 5151. IIRC there
is a driver transistor, the collector load of which is a transformer
which couples to the base of the horizontal output transistor
(sorry, I am doing this from memory, I don't have the techref
in front of me). Do you get the 18kHz on the collector of
the driver transistor? 

Are both transistors good?
