A quick F.Y.I. I returned yesterday to the "8 blink" house and repaired the set. BOTH HV block and flyback were defective. I was REALLY glad that I had ordered the replacement fly from ASTI (Sony NLA) but it did cause quite a change in horizontal lin. & the need to reset about 40% of the convergence. Thanks to everyone for tips received!!!
