I am not sure why my set caught on fire. After I put the fire out I got ticked off and pitched it. I wish I still had it. It's almost like I am jinxed as far as tv's are concerned. That set burned up. My next one is the one I have been talking about in my other thread.I can not get the picture to work correctly. So I grabbed a different set and the flyback is dead. I can get one, but In my years of working on tube radios I have never had problem after problem. It seems like I am not destined to own a running tube tv.But, it is my mission, and with the help of people in this forum I will make it happen. Doug
