I disconnected the lead from pin 5 of the flyback and I'm reading 0.4 ohm from pin 6 to the lead I disconnected from pin 5. When I reconnect the lead to pin 5 and measure from pin 5 to pin 6, I read 0.2 ohms (Both the width coil and a portion of the flyback from pin 5 to 6 are in parallel - for this measurement all the other plugs are disconnected from the power unit to the rest of the TV). It sure seems like I've got continuity through the coils. I've also checked from pins 4,5 and 6 of the flyback to ground and see no shorts. One thing I've noticed is that someone has tried to solder the clip that holds the width coil to the chassis and that solder blob is broken and the coil wiggles in the hole. Does the ferrite (?) core of the coil need to have a good ground for the coil to work properly? I've also checked the back end of the core to see that it rotates and it moves as I rotate the adjustment screw. The same holds for the linearity coil.
