So I was finally able to test voltages. Reg 170v, B+ 170v, HOT ZERO. I took a look at Randy Fromm's flow chart (thanks Cliffo for the link). I kept coming to "You have Horizontal Deflection Failure". I replaced the HOT and was trying to think about what I did when I did it. I then remembered a little clear thin plastic piece on the table after I was cleaning up my mess.
I THEN remembered a thread on here about having MICA INSULATORS behind the HOT and reg.
SHIIIIIIIIIT!!! Yeah, I threw it away.
My question now is: Is the HOT considered "done" at this point? Should I go ahead and order a new one? How to test it?
Can I use something else behind the HOT for the short term just to see if this damn thing will fire?
Sorry to beat this dead ass horse, but I think I'm getting closer to a solution.
Or maybe, I'm way off...
