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.
