So the two wire winding is usually a pretty simple fix then? Sounds like I am better off replacing the wire in that situation as opposed to using lots of corona dope to fight with the old wire insulation. What is the gauge typically of this wire? Why does it seem to me that anytime I have had flyback arcing occuring in one of these old tvs, it seems to always happen from the 2 wire winding as opposed to the main rubber tire (that is what I call it, or if I have not had lunch yet a chocolate mini hostess donut)
