finally got me a roundie

Not propane: could end up on the ten o'clock news. Good idea is to bag it and throw in a bunch of moth balls, seal securely. That'll get 'em.

Agreed--or your TV might wind up like this:

Don't use hydrogen & oxgen either:

there is a green and yellow wire of a transformer that sits directly behind the HV cage. It get full B+. I get 12 ohms to ground from that wire (I have disconnected it at the terminal strip). I get 20 ohms between it and the other green lead from the same side of the tranny. I assume that is ok, but that maybe there is a internal short between the primary and secondary. (there is another green lead that goes to the convergence socket and ground). I unbolted the transformer to see if the short was to the case, but that was not it. Can someone confirm the resistance reading I should be getting on that green/yellow lead to ground? I am sure that is what is causing the B+ issue. The filter caps checked out fine.

disconnect both of the green lead for the one side (not the convergence socket side) now the B+ load is about 8k with cold filaments (resistance reading at the output of the bridge rectifier). Was 24 ohms (yikes) with the transformer in circuit.

Gonna need some help locating a replacement, figured I would ask here, and give moyers a call. I need a part number.

Its a CTC16XL, not sure what it is but its the xforer behind the HV cage. has

grn/yellow (disconnect to find short to ground)
grn (disconnect to find short to ground)
blue
red
yellow

then on the other side

Orange
blk/wht
red/blk
red/wht
red/green
green (this is connected to the chassis, I suspect it is a internal primary to secondary short causing the problem)

figured I would start a new thead since I now know what I have
