No dashed lines, no ticking or sizzling. I wheeled it into my office and played it for six or seven hours, sitting two feet away from me. I haven't stuck a listening tube back into the HV cage, but when you turn the volume down all the way, it's as silent as any other tube TV.
I had actually given up on this flyback and just tried the repair out of curiosity. Good practice for a time when I might want to repair something that's not readily available.
Since I've already ordered a new transformer, I may as well install that and keep this one as an emergency spare.
An interesting experiment, anyhow. And now I won't be so nervous about putting a new flyback in this TV. If this funky old thing didn't go up in flames, I don't know why a new one would (knock on wood).
If I ever do another one, I'll check out that Aervoe stuff.
