I was thinking of using this as a parts set because it's so beat-off and its design bores me, but this is what tears it. While cleaning the deflection yoke housing I saw what looked like a melted section of the HV anode wire. It was electrical tape, which turned out to be covering a lot of the wire. I took it off in the first section I discovered, which was layered very unevenly. The wire had been cut and soldered back together, then broke as I was taking the tape off. What kind of crazy experiment might have been going on here??
Well, most of the tape looked factory, or at least professionally done. Extra insulation on the cheap perhaps? It extended from just before the anode cap to where the HV lead clipped to the chassis. I took off all of the tape. The splice I found earlier was the only one. THAT part had poorly-wrapped electrical tape that just crumbled off, as did one other section of the wire, no idea why. The rest of the tape was more rubbery.

I will if the 25VXCP22 is strong, just not in its present form. There's no way I'm bothering to get a flyback for such a beat-up, low-end set. The likelihood of it having a delta-gun CRT is why I grabbed it to begin with.
