I subbed a big 2SC3997 (NTE2533 equiv) from an old archived email's advicethat worked for him. No damper internally. Well, HV powered up normally for several seconds before I heard a repetitive "arc" or a tapping from under the fly, and smelled a whiff of smoke. My HOT is fine. No burnt visable parts.It can do this over again without HOT damage if I don't leave it on. I suspect the fly is arcing internally, and between pins underneath,which was probably the cause of theorig. bad HOT. Need a flyback. Sampo flyback. Numbers on it: FEC055 FE1AC9-T FM1059 The "FEC055" is aparently the real number. Need to find source for one, cheap! Thanks, Phil Philip Bader Jan Phyl TV Inc. (estab. 1976) 3420 Recker Hwy.
