You are right of course. Much higher voltages in the old CRT tv's. Still, I have changed out more flyback transformers than I can count, having said that I am guessing it was mostly the triplers inside failing, and as they were all potted there was not much you could do.
This was over 35 years ago (early 80's). I never encountered any metal cage ones though. All the ones I saw were an all in one potted type design with the focus and brightness (from memory) knobs on them. Every tv manufacturer seemed to have their own take on them even between models (for obvious reasons) and you needed to find the correct one for the correct tv. All round pain in the backside. I like the simpler inductor only designs, which are not dependent on an esoteric transformer. It's just my personal bias of course. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
