A Lemon set?

[radio nut]

My Muntz from a previous thread burned up the flyback. I have since bought one and will buy a back-up if the videokarma member can be patient with me(money is tight).
Maybe I should have known what was going on but here is what happened....

New caps and out of tolerance resistors replaced. The horizontal frequency did not have a scope picture to adjust it. the diagram said to adjust horizontal drive clockwise until the picture distorts and then turn counter clockwise a little and stop.

When I tried that The pic would not distort... the fly would squeal.

If I ran the set every day everything seemed fine. If I left it alone for a week then the set would come on with no pic and I had to turn the brightness up to see it. the crt still tests the same though, really strong.

Does this sound like a flyback or other issue? i have checked/ rechecked ALL resistors and they are still ok.
All tubes were also checked and still tested fine. Also I put in a new doorknob cap and did try subbing the horizontal circuit tubes. All of this was before the fly went POOF!
