you could try powering up the set slowly with a varic xtrans, keeping
the input ac no more then 60 to 90 volts. the set will not be powered
up full and ya can read all the low voltages to see which one is
loading down. mostly likely the feedback of the start up horz circuit
is failing to hold.



Ok, I checked the flyback with 2 different Sencore analyzers. The
primary is good. The secondary checks bad. From what I understand, this
flyback is a common fault in this particular peice of s%*t. Anyhow, can
someone tell me if the secondary fails to produce the 24v, 14.5v, etc,
will this prevent the set from powering up? Looking at a schematic with
linear power supply, this is the case. Thanks guys. Sorry, and gals.
