I think so..

I cleaned the flyback even more, and it exposed this.

Yep, it's cracking and falling apart...

So I need a new one.. Anyone have a FCM-2015AL?

For safety reasons, this TV has been set aside and im using my hybrid set again.

Are they going to be reliable? I want to go by what radiotvnut said about cheap ones.

I found a HR one, but it's nearly 33 dollars and not even in America.

If this one at ACME works then I'll use that, I just don't want flybacks blowing up when watching TV.

Yeah, i would say so!It's just a matter of time when it starts arcing externally....
I dunno if you tried this already,but have the set on with the back off in a dark room and see if you can see it arcing?

I did try it on with the lights off, but saw nothing. It took my hearing bamboo stick to hear it even coming from the flyback at the back section.

Dave, I contacted that company via Email, I'm gonna see if they will let me come and see the flyback in person..

Your only choices may be the HR or the cheap one. The demand for flyback transformers has taken a nosedive, since the DTV switch; and, they are somewhat harder to find than they were just a few years ago. I think I ordered a flyback from that Acme outfit and it worked OK; but, I can't speak for how this one would work in your TV.

The ones I had the most trouble with came from a place called Dalbani. I got one generic RCA flyback from Tritronics that blew up within a few hours. The generic looked nothing like the original and it was a real pain getting the pins to line up with the holes on the PC board.

Ill probably do the acme one then. I still want to see their flyback first though. Some of the cheap ones dont have an anode wire long enough for this tv.

Placed an order for the HR one on the Ireland site (only site I could find that even had the HR one).

I want quality, and the ACME place don't allow local pickup, and won't show a picture of the item, thus they lost my sale.

Hey, quick question. Due to me having some hearing issues, and closed caption not always being the best solution, I would like to add a headphone jack to the side of this TV. I used to have an old 19" rotary when I was a little kid that had one on the right side. I would like to add one to this TV, and I could easily make a perfect clean round hole for such a jack. That's not a problem.

The problem though, is how the heck do I wire it to this speaker? It's an 8 ohms speaker. I can easily probably use one of those mono ear buds. How can I wire in such a headphone jack?

EDIT: Also, upon removing the old flyback, how the hell do you remove the focus wire out of the CRT socket?!

Ok, so Flyback disassembly has started.

I also cleaned around the anode hole, to keep it from arcing from dust.

When you're finished replacing the flyback and the set is working properly, check the speaker wiring. See if the set has an output transformer. If not, the audio stage could be coupled to the chassis ground, which might be a slight shock hazard.
