Kevin, I don't have anything on this one specifically but I did have a Panasonic that drove me nuts in the same way a while back. It turned out to be a diode in the B+ supply. Also some of these sets have had pincushion circuits causing this. I'd check with Panasonic for any modifications for this problem. I know that there were some on several of the chassis around this number. The service manuals are pretty cheap, around $12 usually, and typically come with the supplements. Leonard G.

I am 100% positive the flyback is bad. But it takes about 5 minutes playing time to short the HOT. The HOT is not even hot like they normally are when they short. My question is, Is the flyback failing under load? It must be! (I tested it with my Sencore ringer and tested the diodes and their output and compared the output voltage with a new one--both tested good!). > > Second question: Where can I get a flyback other than Panasonic? I checked Main and Global here in Canada with no luck. > > Kevin Wilks > Kevin's TV and Video Repair > Penticton BC Canada > kevinstv@xxxxxxx > > > ------------------------------------------ > To REMOVE your email address, click here: > http://www.tech-assist.org/unsubb.html > To CHANGE your email address, click here: > http://www.techassist.net/forms/change.html > ------------------------------------------ > ***NEW*** Tips Added Instantly!!!*** > Submit Repair Tips here: > http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/ ------------------------------------------ To REMOVE your email address, click here: http://www.tech-assist.org/unsubb.html To CHANGE your email address, click here: http://www.techassist.net/forms/change.html ------------------------------------------ ***NEW*** Tips Added Instantly!!!*** Submit Repair Tips here: http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/
