brown disc cap, the new OEM is a pleasant blue color. Common also to RCA & Panny. Yokes almost never go on SS sets, I can count on two hands full in many yrs. Most on GE & Hitachi.

I didn't see the disk cap but maybe I'm just blind so I included a picture of the main PCB board top down. I did manage to clear the short and I accomplished it by isolating pins 11 and 12 on the flyback. If I measure the between pins 11 and 12 out of circuit I get 0.1 of an ohm.
The only time I had a yoke fail was doto the rubber wedges becoming caustic and ate at insulation of the yoke windings. Orion sets from the early 90s at lest have the same problem too. I have an early 90s Orion and the wedges were wet to the touch. Luckily I got to the set in time to save the yoke by removing the wedges.
Sorry about the picture quality but as we both know the set is very limiting on image sizes. Which is great if your my grandad that still uses dial up.
