IMPORTANT_____ DO THIS NOW!!!
Check and see if the CHASSIS number, listed on the back of your set, (This is an rca, ge or proscan, right?), is a ctc203, or an atc113. or a ctc197. if it is ANY of these three, you MUST resolder, not the flyback, but the Horizontal drive transformer,(a small transformer, close to the flyback and horizontal out). and the coil off of it, i think L14401.(both ends of the coil, in fact RCA recommends that you remove the coil, scrape the leads, and then, replace it. It seems that these were installed with a small plastic sleeve left in place, and this caused air bubbles in the solder, which breaks down within a YEAR or so. IF you allow it to continue, it WILL blow the horizontal output, and maybe, the switching regulator, among other things.
Trust me, I do this for a living,and see a lot of these sets. After you do fix that connection problem, those are pretty good sets, with a GOOD crt.
