TV went Big Bang.

[Bill Cahill]

Hi.Last year I fully rebuilt my 1949 RCA Victor 9T270 tv. I brought it up to 110v ac on variac, had B+, and a low audio hum, but, nothing else. After checking thoroughly, I found I had shorted micas in horiz. osc. I finally replaced them and got circiut back together. Tried it Sat. At 40v on variac, I was still bringing it up, I noticed I was only getting about 1v of b+, suddenly, the tv made a loud bang. No smoke, no fire. I quickly shut it down, and changed my meter settings to resistance. Discovered that somewhere in themiddle of the circuit, I have a 1K short. I have so far disconnected several circuts, including the one I was working on, horiz. out., and damper, and, short is still there. Can anyone help me? Thanks.....
