Thanks Electronic M for joining the conversation. I don't think we had any lightning since ours is a low lightning area, hardly any at all...

But our power company does have occasional outages and then they turn on the power and I wondered if that what was caused the problem. It was so many years ago that I truly don't recall but I think over the years we may have had a few smaller crt tv's go out after a power outage.

I kept this little tv since I really liked the dual voltage 12 v and 120v.

Not to change the subject but we had a small tv with a vcr built in the bottom and I got rid of it about a year or more ago because it was eating tapes, before I discovered there were forums like this that might be able to help get it working.

I don't have a 6 v battery and it would be hard for me to put it across the heater pins because I don't know where they are since this is the first tv I've ever tried to fix.

If you have any other suggestions I'd appreciate it.

In the back of my mind there is that swollen capacitor up in post 11 and for some reason I wonder if that's the cause of my problems...
