Philco 25C520

[Dan Starnes]

The wifes big screen is in the shop for a major warranty repair. So I drug a 1985 Philco console that I recently got for free into the living room. Real nice set in very nice cosmetic condition and played very well until monday morning. While watching the news before work, I heard a buzz and instantly turned the set off. Then the dreaded smell of fried electronics. So I believe the flyback smoked. I did take the back off and can see where it did get a bit hot, but nothing scorched. Didnt really get into any other components that might cause the flyback to fry. But first things first, any sources on a flyback for that model? The tags are intact with part numbers and such, but my eyes arent so good anymore. Going to have to wait till a younger set of eyes to read that to me. I have never even messed with anything but a tube set so this is all new to me, and I am not that good on those yet. But I did see some familiar doodads in there . Can a shorted CRT smoke a flyback?
