Sad to say, either a ringer to test the LOPT before replacing the output
transistor or estimate to include the LOPT as a nominal repair. IMHO the
cost of the output transistor is small price to pay to do a dynamic test
on
the LOPT. Seen a lot of these transformers fail not only in the larger
sizes
but also the 27" versions.

Did I read that right? You think that blowing outputs is a reasonable way
to diagnose a bad LOPT? Please finish this line of reasoning...
