Those little Panasonic "TR" sets have a traditional 1.5" CRT....and a little TINY silver box that is it's flyback. I can't seem to get the hang of FIXING them because they are so small and the "flexi" circuits always tear if I get too hamfisted. They also have so many little TINY surface mount capacitors that I'm just not good enough to work with unless I have a "micro workstation" with binocs.

I managed to fix the vertical on the 1010 one time a long time ago (cold joints)...but later turned it into a "basket case" attempting some other repair like a year ago. Now I have a 1030 that has intermittant focus trouble...and I won't look at it for fear of trashing THAT one.
