I am going to replace the vertical transformer, the two power supply resistors and those 1000V caps as a preventative.
I would think that the problem is that whatever the convergence secondaries drives has a short. Sounds like the vertical output transformer works fine when you disconnected that secondary. I'm thinking that the convergence secondary is part of the vertical output transformer, Yes?
