Well, who is probably one of the last of the great tv repairmen in the Boston area examined the set today using only a long screwdriver and tapping around (it was hard to see where exactly, but definitely on the right side of the chassis as viewed from the back of the set) the chassis and his diagnosis from this was that the flyback transformer and the output trasistor were gone. He said he could attempt to search for the parts (but felt it would be difficult to find these) but instead discouraged us from repairing the set. He felt that even if these were the only components involved (he felt the yoke could also be involved but no way of knowing until the HV is returned and even then, the picture may still not be that great), it still is a 40 year old set that could have something else go at any time. I felt he was honest as he could've easily said to fix it and charge us a fortune.
What do you guys think of all this and do you have any other thoughts? Thank you again in our attempts to decide where to go next with this.
Lou
