+B is stable. I didn't ring the flyback. Problem is odd because sometimes the HV will fire-up and the TV runs fine, except that the HOT is getting hot, but that would be expected with the distorted drive signal. I will ring the flyback Al and let you know what I find. I appreciate the help. So, where can I find original Zenith parts in Canada eh! Thanks, David Lessard Alexandria, Ontario.
