If the pins aren't labelled, do a contiuity test between the socket end of the wire and each of the pins, it should be a dead short to one of them and an open circuit to the other. Stick it on the one it seems to be shorted to. -tony

I believe you have 'my' schematic of the VR241. I think this wire is shown on sheet 2 of the scan board diagram, (page 7 of the .pdf file) just above C718. It's on the daughterboard that carries the horizontal output transistor, and is fitted onto one of 2 pins on that board labelled 'S' and 'L'. In one position it does nothing (so leaving it free would do no harm provided it doesn't short to anything), in the other is short-circuits C718. -tony
VR241 Stray Wire
I took apart my VR241 recently to see if I could find the reason why the screen doesn't go completely black. I took lots of pictures while doing so, to make sure I could put it back together again correctly. However, now that I am putting it back together, there is one wire which looks like it wasn't connected. It is on the deflection board (on the right when looking from the back of the CRT). I am not sure now if I missed taking a photo of this when it was connected, or if it really should be not connected. There is a pin marked Size Link near to it, which might be where it has to go, and sounds like an optional thing if that is the case. You can see the wire in question at the bottom of the picture below, it is the green wire with a single-pin connector on it, and the size link connector is the two-pronged connector just below it in the photo: https://1drv.ms/i/s!AlQc3lJwQx7bgbAJQx-HsvGY8Gcqsg Anyone know where this wire should go?
