it says to connect a clip lead across the Horizontal Stabilizer Coil...

What does that mean? Do I use a wire with two alligator clips? Across what parts of the coil?
Thanks for any help!
Yes, a clip lead is a wire with a alligator clip on both ends. I believe the idea is to stop the tv signal sync from effecting the oscillator frequency, then adjusting the free running frequency to the right value. After removing the clip lead the oscillator will easily lock to the signal. Be very careful you will be in a dangerous part of the TV. I don't have a circuit diagram, (model #, chassis # ?) so I can't comment on where on the coil.
