Been trying to help a fellow KLOV member over the phone. He had a working G07 that he recapped, new flyback, new width coil, new HOT. He said it worked for a few minutes, then went dead. He had some high B+ (shutdown) that I helped him diagnose. Now he has a B+ of 119, neck glow - and no picture. I had him try multiple things but he's not getting anywhere, and isn't ready to send it to me yet. He gets a small spark on discharge, but isn't hearing it power up with static. I had him do continuity checks from all the flyback pins to check for cracks, as well as from all the neck socket pins. At one point he said he saw a "purplish glow" between the white wire from the bottom of the flyback and the white wire coming from K2. I had him separate them and wrap them in electrical tape for safety, but still no pic.
Right now I have him checking another game he has to see if it has a G07 that he can swap to this tube to verify the tube didn't become damaged somehow. Anyone else have a bright idea that I'm not thinking of? I'm sure I'd figure out if I had it here...
