I like how the flyback being bad was diagnosed on the newsgroups. LOL
I guess the set is not worth having it properly diagnosed by a
technician given its age and known additional issues, cloudy coolant.


Yes, in many more cheaper designed sets, like Philips, when the flyback
fails it does usually require some additional parts. Not often much
more than the HOT, but sometimes much more, NAP D7 chassis comes to
mind for one.
