The avatar was sad because he lost his Boise State Broncos lucky cap. He feels better now.
The reason that I started looking for a focus coil was that I read a post by you (Electronic M) in another thread referring to non-working vertical and horizontal yoke would result in a pinpoint rather than a line. When I stopped working on this set four years ago the only problem I had was the dead yoke--no continuity through either vert or horizontal. All the other components tested good, voltage data was good, resistance data was good, and the flyback was whining. Still, I didn't even have a pinpoint on the screen, so I thought maybe my repaired coil wasn't working.
The CRT was tested by a local TV repair shop four years ago. I don't have exactly total confidence in them, so I'm refurbishing a Beltron 8080A right now--hoping to do a reliable test if I can figure the thing out.
