I had this Xmen on location since 2017 and just brought it back home. The only issue I ever had was the replacement flyback blew up.
Once home there was about 1/2 inch gap on both sides with the width coil maxed out. I swapped the original c38 width cap with a .33 from apar width cap kit. Looked perfect for a few days and then this morning horizontal collapse and the smell of burning. Replacement width cap blew its guts.
So what would cause this? Bad cap?
