Arfa, You're a diamond geezer! Cheers!
I found the service manual online, identified the 'field output chip' as :
IC451 LA7845N VERTICAL OUTPUT (Sanyo call it a 'Vertical Deflection
Output Circuit')
a 7 pin SIP7H package on the main pcb. Soldered all the pins as you
suggested (a pin at one end was hard to get the solder to flow on despite
using lots of flux, so I guess it was badly oxidized from arcing and was
the problem), and the TV's now 100% working :-)
Three days without telly, I was starting to get the shakes!
Thanks again,

Scrim


Glad to have been of help.
