Apparently I've had a couple leaks so far, the first from the flyback itself and then the next time I was getting something around the base of the HV rectifier tube. Well, that little "tic" inside the base I had went away completely and I've heard nothing sense until today when it starts hissing out of nowhere. I had the chassis back in the cabinet when it was hissing, so I pulled it back out to have a look and so far, I've had it running about 45 minutes or so with no sign of a leak at all. But... did find something; The metal base of the HV rectifier is charged with HV. I'm not sure if it should be or not, but it is. I can take a screwdriver with a ground wire attached to it and get a vicious arch just by putting the tip within about a quarter of a inch from the metal and the bolt that holds it on that tan plastic bracket. Now if it were normal to be charged like this, that would explain the plastic bracket... but anyways, I may just need to go back and coat the rest of the flyback and seal it up a little thicker, but that tube base sure makes me wonder.
