The short was in the insane wiring out of the transformer where there was hardly any space for the deteriorating 12 wires coming out of a very small transformer opening right into and down past an edge of the chassis that was sharp. This is a very bad design. Makes me worry about my working TV and what might be going on with that mess.

That's not a normal problem. Once a transformer is installed at the factory there's ordinarily no movement of the wires that would fatigue them like that. Somehow that one has been roughed up over the years, either pulled for some reason or a replacement pulled from another chassis. Looks like you've come up with a good solution.

Like I said, this TV has been worked over multiple times quickly and sloppily. There was a burn mark on the chassis where it was shorting. The wires in this set are in some of the worst condition I've seen. Some of the insulation is simply crumbling off.

So this is the last set with the good CRT, that looked so nice on the outside, and said that it worked in the ad?
