The coil going to the E/M pin on the flyback was cold solder joint making intermittent connection. The PIX had drawn in on the sides. Hv drops from about26 kv to about 18 in about 10 seconds. The|B+ drops as well from 151 to 120 volts . the coil getts extremely hot and horz. output to. Unplugged the crt board from neck and still the same. Disconnect the E/M pin and B+ stays up Flyback primary checks ok yoke and coil ring all good. the horz. output is also good . Donot have a schematic . Does anyone have any working knowledge of these? Is it the flyback secondary breaking down? Does anyone have a service manual? thanks Albert Walfield Albert Walfield's Electronics 28 Mulock Rd.
