That thing with the ring is most likely the flyback transformer. It generates the high voltages. They have a wax coating that can melt and drip over time.
I just happened to have put up a video on YouTube tonight where I go over a late 40s TV and point out what each part does. here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1r8Us8FsYQ |
Yeah I guess the flyback must have smoked up. Oh well... does anyone know where I can even begin to look for a replacement? I guess the fuse in mine that was supposed to protect it was no good.
