this is just not making any sense...
IF the flyback was damaged/ had a shorted turn, would I not also get weak Horz sweep at the yolk as well as poor HV?

input to horz yolk coils , pin 4 of damper, 100x probe
this is getting very strange

if there was a FBT problem, should i not see it in the sweep output?
