We have a 27" Console TV Chassis: CTC177AM2 (replaced the STK730-130 Reg IC) and found that the Yoke (which is bonded to CRT) will make the frying egg sound and cause distortion on the picture when it does. We can even smell something when this yoke begins to act up. We tapped the yoke lightly after it played for several hours ok and the yoke starting getting noisey and had the slight smell of burning. Has anyone ever done the old NAP trick to these RCA bonded yokes with any success (coat the yoke with polyurthene or sealer) or any success removing them?
