Have seen bad flybacks many times without taking out the HOT on the 169's. Robert J. Delhommer, Sr. Bob's TV P.O. Box 40 / 212 W.

Good day... I showed up at the customer home on this set to find it trying to start. Looking in the rear of the set, I saw arcing at the HV lead to the splitter. Brought light box to shop and await splitter. Replace splitter and power supply components since original were still in this set, and set would start, then shut down. Pulled HV lead from splitter, now set pulses on/off, each time the high voltage does build. Checked HOT, it was OK. Pulled and rang flyback on my Sencore VA48 and it failed. Needle never came up at any of the settings. Usually, the needle comes up at least a little on some of the settings. Questions is......wouldn't the bad flyback have taken out the HOT, also? I hate to wait for a new flyback, which is currently on BO, when there is actually another problem... Also, checked the splitter and I have a little over 11k from input to each output. Isn't this a good test? Thank you for the help...
