I have it I just took it off to see how the flyback looks. I will probly leave it off and add a small fan to the set to keep the fly and chassis cool I do this on my sets to protect against heat since I like to watch my sets when there done and parts are not always easy to find. I did order all new electrolytic capacitors for it and checked all the tubes and have replaced the bad ones. I will update and send pics. of it working when it is done.

Jeff,
Yeah, I was never a fan about the upside down rect tube sitting on the flyback design either...but it is a way of ensuring radiation protection as the set cannot operate without the cover/tube in place! And we all know just how much RCAs love to eat Flybacks!!

Damon,
Once you get this set running don't forget about checking HOT current draw and compare that value to the KV. If the HV control pot doesn't equalize things out then the horizontal effeciency coil may need a little tweeking. Anytime a HOT is replaced current should always be checked too.

Keep us informed on your progress...nice set!!
