Sounds like the horiz yoke is open, not connected, or the circuit from the HOT collector to the yoke connector is open. This sounds simple but sometimes it's easy to overlook the obvious. With no horiz yoke it would be normal for the HOT collector pulse to be greatly reduced in amplitude and much wider and the base than normal. ******************************************************************************************************************* Since 1972 Jim Myers Telrad Electronics Fort Wayne, Indiana Larry E wrote: > Hi Guys, This 197 chassis is giving me fits, had the typical 3 clicks > then nothing, > replaced flyback kit (oem) now I have start up with audio but picture is > almost > totally collapsed horizontally, I have a 1/2" wide picture right in the > center of > the screen, If I let it run for 4-5 minutes it eats the HOT, figured I > got a bad > flyback so I ordered and installed another one, same symptom, I have > 165v > on C of HOT in standby, drops to 144v when turned on, scoped the C of > the HOT and I only have 625v p-p, waveform is normal but half what it`s > supposed to be, I`ve checked C14402,14716,14800,14805,14403. 14404, > CR14402,14800, all good, I can`t seem to find the problem, could I have > a > bad deflection IC??
