radiotvnut, that makes sense, because when the HV shutdown occurs, it probably trips an internal relay, which makes the clicking sound.
Could you explain the lightbulb in series thing to me? I think I know what you are talking about, using the lightbulbs to control the voltage reaching the TV, but I just want to make sure of the procedure before I do it.
Also, I just got the service manual for this set yesterday, so if I am correct to think that SCR means "silicon-controlled rectifiction" then oh yes that power supply is definitly an intersesting one!
I just returned to college a couple of weeks ago, so I'll have to wait to the weekend before I can open this set up, but I'll keep you guys posted. I am glad to hear that my $15 "junker" is a good set. I am very impressed with the picture quality of this thing so far. It compares very well with our Sony Trinitron set (21 years old and still going, knock on wood).
