Halolight flyback?
 

I recently picked up a Halolight but unfortunately it won’t make any HV and fails ring test after recap. If anyone has a Merit HVO-54, Thordarson FLY-76, Triad D-49 or other suitable replacement please let me know. Chassis is a 1-533-8.

i might have a thordarson 76 , ill look tonight.

Thanks for looking Steve.

sorry, thought i might have one ,been collecting as many as possible .

Does it look like this?

That’s it!

It's yours for shipping if you want it.
P.M. me with your address and I'll get it sent.

Wow, thanks Eric!

Just to make double sure the old fly is bad I subbed in an air core HV transformer, which immediately made a nice fat arc. So the old fly is definitely bad, must have a primary short since it’s all discolored in that area like it got really hot.

I’ll post a shot of this set running next to my Saratoga, soon as I get a decent picture on it.

Part received, thanks again Eric. Any chance there’s a wiring diagram for the HVO-54? Not really sure how it goes in.

No, I looked through the box it was in and didn't find it.

If someone has a Merit catalog it likely would show their fly types schematically with the terminals numbered.

Never mind, there was a terminal conversion chart in the back of the Sams. Next issue is I’ve only got 6kv, I’ll play with it a little more this weekend.

HVO-54 is installed and working, but it’s only making around 7kv of anode voltage. Anyone know if this particular fly is OK to use with low B+ chassis, or does it need 385v like other sets? Sweep width is good, output tube draws around 160ma, just low HV.

I noticed that Fly had been soldered on before I sent it to you, I wonder if it could have been a dud from the beginning?
