high voltage loss

[timmy]

no moyers said an after market fly was never made and that it would have had to come from motorola itself.i did some crazy things to try to find out whats going on like the crt was not hooked up at all and the anode i left hanging and checked hv that way. when first turned on there is a strong smell of ozone in the area of the hv cage and the 2 hots but its gone after about a minute.i had it running one day for about an hour and the fly was hot but not burning hot, but the cathode current has got me baffled one moment its showing 220ma then another day it showed110 and 115ma. i kind of ruled out the crt as a cause, and the rec tube, and 6bk4 and that circuit and damper. i even checked resistors in the yoke and unplugged it but the hv went lower.well if something opened in the secondary, doughnut i think i would here hissing or maybe snapping but nothing really.the 2 horiz tubes test very good and appear new but maybe i should try 2 more. should there be any stray hi voltage around the ferite core like the probe of the hv tester, the point i get hv voltage from the core, by probing the point around the core, maybe this is normal.....
