Sure sounds like a bad flyback Gary. the 4 blink code is no vertical and that is what you should get with the HOT collector disconnected. I think 5 blinks in IK failure. The number printed on the flyback is the bare part with no wires installed. The 1-453-306-11 would be the one to use. Wow $100.00 CN that's like 20 cents US? ******************************************************************************************************************* Since 1972 Jim Myers Telrad Electronics Fort Wayne, Indiana Gary McCartney wrote: > Thanks for all the help on this. > > I tried to fire it up in service mode.
