To test the splitter disconnect the input from the flyback to the splitter. Isolate it someway. I use a glass tube that an expensive cigar came in with a hole to accomadate the wire and a split half way to slip the wire into. I also have an NE2 neon bulb(leads cut off) in the tube. If HV is present or pulsating the bulb will glow if it's near the bare wire. If the set comes on and has sound then the splitter is likely bad. However, it's then a good idea to replace the input, and remove the hv inputs for the crts at the splitter to double check. Might be a bad tube. Replacing the inputs to the tube one at a time will show which one. I haven't had a bad crt on a 195, but I got caught on a zenith once.
