Dan...

  Just curious... where exactly were the bad
connections that caused the blinking on & off?
 I don't know about everyone else, but I'd like to
know the circuit of origin to better understand what's
really happening with the pix (i.e. H.V., sweep,
video...). I know the crime is solved, but I still
wonder who the perpetrator was.

  TIA,

&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;Make sure there is no leaky fluid on the
anode caps
&gt; causing intermittant 
&gt; &gt;arc
&gt; &gt;to ground.

&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; I've done several of these in the past
with no
&gt; problems, I have tried
&gt; &gt; &gt; several attempts to be sure the wires
are seated
&gt; properly on this 
&gt; &gt;repair.
&gt; &gt;Is
&gt; &gt; &gt; there something else that could be
causing this
&gt; flashing on/off
&gt; &gt;picture -OR-
&gt; &gt; &gt; is it definitely a common "Not making
contact"
&gt; problem on the HV 
&gt; &gt;splitter,
&gt; &gt; &gt; I'll keep trying to resecure the
anodes, and
&gt; report back. Any comments!

&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;You have a kink in one or more of
the HV leads
&gt; in the splitter.  Pull 
&gt; &gt;the
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;leads back out and remove the
splitter.  Take a
&gt; section of scrap HV 
&gt; &gt;cable
&gt; &gt;a
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;strip it back about 1/4 inch. 
Probe the
&gt; chimney slowly and you will 
&gt; &gt;find
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;the bottom, then very easily press
in and you
&gt; will feel the lead seat.
&gt; &gt;Do
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;this a few times until you get the
feel of it. 
&gt; If the lead kinks if
&gt; &gt;feels
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;a
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;little different.  Examine the lead
after each
&gt; try.  A couple of min
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;practice like this until you learn
the feel
&gt; will save lots and lots of
&gt; &gt;time
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;and frustration.

&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Hi Fellow techs,
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Just replaced bad #205064 HV
Trippler in
&gt; this RCA PTK169PFA (model 
&gt; &gt;RCA
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; P46720LV) Chassis. Now the
set will come on,
&gt; and all (3) color guns
&gt; &gt;are
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; working, But the picture is
Flashing on/off.
&gt; Can hear a slight
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;"clicking"
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; noise coming from the set as
the picture
&gt; flashes on and off in a 1
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;second
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; cycle.
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Any Help? All I have done is
replace the
&gt; trippler.
