wa2ise: You are right, I think it would be best to just recap that whole section. It'll probably be a while before I have another chance to get at it.

Andy: I'm not sure if this set has the HV rectifier or not. I didn't really poke around too much in the set, but I don't remember seeing a sticker indicating it. The flyback is, however, in a cage, which I didn't bother to check yet :p. I do know this set does have instant-on on the CRT. Another thing weird about this set is the antenna terminals are banana plugs...and I've never seen a TV with 2 headphone jacks either.


I was looking around, but is this the first Trinitron? : http://www.rwhirled.com/portacolor/Sony-1210U.htm The 1210U. I know this one has the HV rectifier despite the "solid state" label.
