Just picked up a working K7000. Installed a new fly and full cap kit. Fired it up and it looked great, got everything adjusted and all of a sudden the brand new flyback cracked and started arcing profusely. I turned the cab off immediately, removed the chassis from the tube, removed the flyback and saw this...

Damn thing was brand new. I've always heard about bad batches of flys but I've never ran into one. Well, looks like it happened this time. I re-installed the old flyback and when I powered the chassis on again, I got vertical collapse and then D13 smoked/shorted. So I replaced it, checked everything in that area, it all checked good and reinstalled/turned the chassis back on again. Poof! Fuse blew. HOT shorted.
So now I've got a lot more troubleshooting to do while I wait on the new HOTs I ordered to come in. ARGH!!
