porthole flyback shorted - any replacements ?

[Eric H]

Well they are wired the same but the tube lineup is quite different, I suspect it would make some high voltage but what the side effects might be I don't know.

Is your set a 16" CRT?

Yes its a 16" , this set is going to make me out to be the boy who cried wolf , i didn't do anything to it and turned it on and bingo there was a picture , you can imagine my shock , so i hooked the fly tester up and now it doesn't read short , so i decided to check some micas and one of them was leaking , replaced it and now the horz will hold and lock properly.

on the third turn on the fly made a nasty whine and squeal , and there was no picture , i rotated the drive and boom on came a picture , darker and the right side pushed and squeezed in , the drive and width had no effect , i measured the hv and it was only like 8k or 9k , so i yurned it off , 10 minutes later it turned on properly , tried it again a few minutes ago and it ean for 10 to 15 minutes no issues.

one of the attatched pics is the fly , i know its not a great picture but as you can see the fly doesn't look the best.
