If you pull the damper, everything stops. All the HV for the horz output and Vert sections are drawn through the damper.
I might see if I can 'hotwire' the vert just to see if it even runs. With that going, I can at least check the yoke.
I've not tried pulling the yoke, that's my next trick.
The flyback doesn't seem to get warm at all.
I'll try to get my hands on a scanner this week or next or soon, and scan in the schematic. It's quite interesting - uses 2 horz outputs and a few other fun features...
Try to get some answers and clues tonight later...
Thanks!
