Hi,

I have a Magnavox TV chassis 27B502-00AA in my shop. I replaced
the H.O.T. Q503 # 610597 (on device) which was shorted and the horiz. driver
Q500 BSN274 # 483513047931 which was bad. I checked the regulated
B+ which is 131.8V (130V is ideal). The HV measures 30KV when it should
be 27KV - 28KV. Note: It can't be due to 1.8V high B+ since math shows an
increase of about 400V (HV). I checked the FBT core and it isn't loose.
Did you have this experience and what was the cause?

Thanks in advance, Brad

Tip for your old computer (reduce discard pollution too):

If you can't sell your old computer, don't throw it away. Use it to backup
your software by transferring files/folders from your new computer or laptop
to it. I transferred my Windows folder and other stuff to my old computer
using "PC Link", which I downloaded from www.simtel.net (cool site).

Check the pulse to the HOT base is properly shaped from the horizontal
oscillator onwards and nicely clipped at the base. Check the peak
shaping network across the HOT's collector isn't open. Check the damping
diode if a separate one is used. HV will also rise if zero beam or a
weak crt.
