silvertone roundie

[ctc17]

An heres an observation....

I rewaxed a flyback out of one of these color sets. I boiled out moisture for over 90 minutes in a pot of wax that was 300F.
They are basically 90% paper and paper is hygroscopic and there has to be leakage through the paper at 24kv.
That very well could be your mystery load.

Speaking of hygroscopic, arnt yall about to get nailed by 3 record storms? Souldnt you be prepping for that and not worried about tvs? Making sure the car is full of gas, you have plenty of food, water, batteries a good working battery radio etc???

well the flyback in the set was replaced and its a thordarson fly273 and its silicone potted and no arcing . so alittle air in this crt could have this affect afterall its the original that has silvertone on the neck plug. and the storm ahhh we will see if that happens even after the million dollar satillites they still cant get the weather right.

I wouldnt get caught with my pants down when you have a clear heads up.

I would be home watching the masses in total panic mode raid the stores of everything on my roundie totally prepared

Ok we can rule out the flyback...hmmm

You can try putting your crt tester on it in cutoff test mode, crank the cutoff voltage all they way up and see if you get blue glow in the neck. That would indicate gas/air.
The only sure way is to substitute
