I wore 15,000 volt gloves, and safety discharged the high voltage lead on the CRT.
I then removed the TV chassis for inspection.
The flyback transformer looks a little melty. Some of the wax fell off / melted off. I don't see any signs of arcing inside the metal case of it.
I contacted Moyer for a replacement / spare and had no luck.
If anyone has a good used / NOS one let me know! - I'm looking into how to re-coat the flyback?
