It appears that when working all the controls are working color controls vertical I have to find out why they are hot as it may answer why the video is not there yet.

not really.
you have shown that you have good video with direct input, more than once I believe.
did you do a current test on this set now that you have a meter to do so?
was it more than 580-590ma?
if the original diodes are worn, it could explain them getting hot, and as mentioned before, the cheap ones are suspect as being counterfeit diodes, so they won't be much better, so putting in new 1a or 2a diodes should put the heating problem to rest.
Since you get good video from direct input, it is safe to say its not related to the power supply.
