Yeah which is pretty annoying lol. I also noticed that the old HV rect. tube socket has loose pins/posts on it which makes me wonder about connection issues. Anyways I am replacing that too soon to rule it out.
Photos of the new old stock flyback installed! It looks much beefier and more insulated than the original. Also noticed that it uses what looks like asbestos fabric to insulate the three wire winding that leaves to go up to the tube socket instead of the rubber the old one used.
I extended the old short wires with new wire so I had plenty of slack to work with. I finished up by adding extra insulation via heat shrink tubing. Installed a 1N5408 silicon diode rated at 3 amps and 1000Volts just because I wanted to for peace of mind.
How do you test a Focus divider btw? I have not tested it yet.
