Well, unplugged the convergence board, and still no go. Also removed all of the tubes from the high voltage section and looked for inter-element shorts. Didn't find anything of note.

Can the set be operated without any of these tubes in place (HV rectifier, etc?)? I would assume probably not the HV regulator though.

Have an order in for a new damper tube but it won't ship until after Thanksgiving.

Going to pull the yoke off hopefully this weekend and look for burnt spots and see if there is anything I can tell through further examination.

Any way to see if the flyback is the problem? This one seems to be a lot tougher than the one in my other Admiral - it's encased in silicone rubber rather than wax.

Thanks again to everyone for all the help. I'm learning slowly but surely - and I will get this set going eventually.

Jim
