OK, now that you guys are mentioning this "air-core" flyback transformer from RCA and that it was liscensed to other companies, did my Meck TV I am currently working on use that "air-core" flyback system by any chance?
I'm curious because some of the symptoms you guys have described that system having when it starts failing is the same exact symptoms my Meck TV is having in regards to the flaky high voltage and not very bright picture and what not...
