I haven't found any shorts on the filters. But a shorted fly I dont believe will cause excessive wattage upon powerup immediately. I believe the Horizontal output plate cap removed should shutdown HV? Am I correct?
I'm grabbing my watt meter tomorrow.

On second thought, after looking over the SAMS a bit again, removing the damper should de-energize the FBT completely, it gets is voltage via the damper through the horizontal linearity coil & L35(ctc-16 ) L36 (ctc-16xl)
So if by any chance, there is a short in the primary, removing the damper will take the load off the main bias.
