I had a perfectly working 4600 earlier today... Put a cap kit in, reflowed a few joints.. Checked everything twice..fixed one cap that was arcing (the 1500v one near the HOT). I power it up, and it trips my 3a circuit breaker.. HOT measures Open (?)..
If I unplug the Flyback, B+ voltage on the Vreg looks ok, however, no deflection whine.. Plug in the flyback, B+ goes low, and if I crank the variac over 7v, breaker trips.
So is this gonna be the flyback or the HOT? Im hoping its the HOT..Not sure how I killed her, and why it went open I pulled it and checked the terminals. If the Hot is Open, will the Fly look like a short circuit to the b+ (DC)?
