Make sure the CRT guns all track, before digging into the color circuits. Then put a color bar generator on it and see if the bars are consistent from top to bottom.

hi mr lindsly i have been communicating with bob gatarz from new jersey on a possible flyback problem on a ets908 chassis motorola he will be sending you a message. this set has low hv,14kv bright down, 11kv bright up and the center coil gets very hot, not the donut, the coil in the center of the donut and i have run out of options aside from thinking the fly is bad. there is no burning smell just very hot after about an hour.cathode current should be 105 on each tube and together should be 210ma but its at 238ma and cannot get it lower.do you have any suggestions as to where i should look at this point.caps were changed, tubes check out, and did the tests to get the hv to rise and it wont. cap off 6bk4,focus tube out, crt plug off nothing will raise the hv.i had twisted lines on the left screen and found a resistor in the yoke that was bad and changed it and cured the lines but this resistor gets HOT and the old one showed it got hot as well. i dont know if this yoke resistor has anything to do with whats going on with the hv. thank you
