To EHT, or not EHT?

Too bad you do not have a TV analyst, I find them helpful for quick trouble shooting of HV. I doubt its a couplate if the grid signal is still good with the yoke attached.

Thanks, it makes sense that you're talking about the tube when I think about it. I don't think the flyback has a screen! I'm looking into an analyser as we speak on eBay, we can't seem to get them here so it'll be a US Sencore. No matter, I use the same tranny to power up my Predictas, my BK747 tube tester and soon possibly the Sencore!

the BK 1076 or 1077 have a lot of utility, there is a test patter, gated color bar,RF/IF/Video and for sweep circuits it has a plate drive (you attach the plate clip from the fly to it to see if the fly/damper/yoke is ok) and grid drives for both vertical and horz. You can live without it, but I find it handy, and besides I am an equipment junkie...
