Plug it in, the SMPS has the usual chirp, and the HOT collector is at about +148 VDC in standby. Push power while monitoring the HV anode and it turns on, HV comes up to about 25KV, instantly clicks off, clicks on again in half second, off, then a third try, then dead. I didn't see a bad fly with HV coming up OK. I checked all diodes, found no shorts. Histories? Phil -- Philip Bader Jan Phyl TV Inc. (estab. 1976) 3420 Recker Hwy.
