Dan, I watched your video. Definitely applied to what I'm going through, although I see you did end up with a splice for testing purposes.
Well, you could say I learned something on this TV. I never knew that the flyback "induced" the voltage into the filament.. I always thought it was some kind of direct connection. (I've never had sets with flyback problems, so never had a reason to get that in-depth into the system.)
Knowing this, it seems that I can repair this fairly easily once I can get the proper wire. Looks like I'd need somewhere between 2-3 feet of it. I doubt I could salvage that much from a more modern monitor, etc. so I need a source to buy some of this wiring new.
Anyone care to recommend a source? What is the actual name of the wiring I need? "High voltage filament wiring"?
You can see it's pretty well burned up all over the wiring. I don't know how someone could put this mess together in good conscience just patching it up with electrical tape.
