Paul and All: Is it possible for just a H.O.T. to go bad by itself? Just wondering, because we have had repairs that just needed that part replaced. I am not being smart, just trying to share information and learn more. I know there are many things that will cause a H.O.T. to go bad, (flyback, no drive, arching CRT, ect), just curious?

The question is what caused the HOT to short?? If you didn't find that, then the set will be back!!
