Even some later sets like to eat dampers. Case in point I have a Silvertone CTC-15 clone that if the osc. coil is adjusted too far off of synch lock will short it's damper REAL fast. It had a good damper but all lytics were bad and killing the B+ when I got it. Damper tested good before test where it gave shrunken raster than faded out so I spun my wheels for months trying to get HV with a blown damper (after the recap). It ate 2-3 replacement dampers while trying to go through the H osc. adjustments. And since then it has killed at least 1 more in operation (that one did not short, but it also fooled me by testing good unless you held the test button for 8-30 sec and allowed it to slump into the bad range.).
