i was checking all the resisters before i reinstall the flyback and found the one that hv anode had overheated and instead of being 1500 ohm it was now 600ohm, it cooked it self to hafe its value. i have a few question's about that resister that is in series with the hv anode ,i was going over other schematics that have the 21'' crt color roundie most dont seem to have a resister there ,are they trying to slightly drop voltage there, is that the reason it was overheated like that .was there a update in later models that changed it or removed it all together , another thing i noticed is that on the solder joint at one end of the resister were the resister and two other wires connect they had so much solder on it that it made contact with the metal tube socket mounting ,and it looked like there had been alot of trail sparking going on between the mounting and the tube socket ,im assuming that could have contributed to burning that resister.
