Howdy again. I am looking for help in figuring out the chances in getting this old beast fixed up.

It was working perfectly before it quit displaying video, only giving me audio. Blank screen, no flickering no nothing. It was giving me a burning smell and I believe it is a transformer of sorts. Pictures included.

In my initial diagnosis of it, I was trying to figure out what the spark gap protection was, I didn't know and in my examination of it, broke it...Fragile thing that was...

Purchased the service manual for a T995-02 from Sams Publishing, they got the the "close" T995-01 chassis service manual, but it doesn't have the matching information to installed equipment for the high volt circuits(Everything else is really close if not the same).

I believe that since it was throwing voltage through the spark gap, that i have too much high volt and that some transformer along the way needs to be replaced. I have pictures of the questionable equipment and hope that someone can throw me some advice and help. I really want this old thing to work and keep going. It means a lot to me, so thanks in advance for any help and advice.

I also need and want to figure out what to do with the old spark gap that the tv has? What have other people done with these?

If so can something this old still get parts? the vertical transformer that looks cooked(I posted a picture where I have it cut out of the tv on the desk.

If you need any other information I will try to supply it. So again thank you!
