I've rechecked that the rear screen circuits are all intact and not
arcing or anything but it got me beat (that's not hard).
Any ideas ?

Assuming as many do today - the rear screen heater is used as the
antenna for the radio and the printed tracks on the glass are damaged,
the poor tracks will generate masses of interference when the screen
heater is turned on.


Why? We're talking 12V here, not a voltage that is going to jump some
distance.

Is there is a bad connection, then it would still show when the heater is
turned off.

I can assure you I do not what I am talking about.
