Hi guys , I have this Sony that has a strange problem. every now and then the set will make a loud pop noise and this pop effects the focus, convergence and basically wipes the video leaving just raster then pix goes back to normal and cycle repeats at next pop. I have disconnected the tubes one by one but can still hear the pop (both hv lead and crt socket) I have removed the 200v source feed to the tubes and have removed the focus lead to the focus block but pop noise still heard. Checking voltages with a peak meter I found the biggest voltage drop on the G2 line , drops to 51v when nothing connected. and the B+ line goes from .4a current draw to 1.2 - 1.4 amp draw for an instant. My guess is the flyback but wondering if anyone had this happen to them. thanks for any input Tony Saracco TCS ELECTRONICS 406 Andra Ct.
