Well, I've talked to the set's owner, and between the option of getting his money back, or pressing on, he chose the latter. He really wants to see it working!

I have a few spare good transformers, but nothing that quite matches GE's design. The 802 uses two rectifiers, a 5U4 to put out something like 250 volts at 160ma, and a 5Y3 "boost" that puts out 425 volts at 85ma. If this were any other type of tv, I would probably have a match.

I'll dig into the original transformer first, and try to determine what is really going on with this thing. If I've only lost one of the secondaries, maybe I could patch in something else.
