Ok, try this::
IF you have a bit of knowledge in electronic repairs-- you can replace the H-output and get the driver resistor for under $10.
When(or IF you replace these), you MUST resolder ALL of the "crispy" points around where that resistor was, and such. It is POSSIBLE that bad connections on the driver transformer have killed the output. SO, for maybe $10-15 or so, you could take a chance.
Then, before you "fire the set up", get a variac(if you can, and know how to use it) and try to "slow start" the set. this could prevent blowing the new one, if something else, like the fly, splitter, a CRT or such is bad. Like others said, mits. are known for (1) bad capacitors all over the place, (2) bad and weak CRT's, that look like shit in a few years, usually, and (3) leaky tubes, on the newer(1994-present) sets.
But you might, just get lucky. I saw a '90 m odel mits. lately, with ehavy doors, with GREAT tubes.but a LOT of bad caps!!
