First, thanks for replying.

I don't know anything about TV repair. Where is the vertical
deflection circuit board? The flyback... is that the 3-4" tall black
part that sits on the mainboard between the AV outs and what looks
like silver heat sinks? It also has a think red wire going from it to
the top of the back of the TV.

I can see no signs of cracking. Would this be visible or would I need
to measure resistances all over?

Anyone have a picture/layout of one of the inside of one of these
models? Or just of a Sony or generic layout would be helpful too.

Thanks agian,
