The midway 161-900-1 as found in Gun Fight.

I'm pretty sure the FB is bad... The monitor blows one of the 1amp slo's right at power up. I didn't find anything shorted on the chassis or the deflection board. It was capped about a year ago and worked for several months but crapped out recently.

Anyway, since I had nothing to lose I put a 2amp slo in the 1amp location. The monitor powers up, and has heater voltage but no high voltage. The HOT gets hot pretty quickly.

So yeah. Bad FB me thinks. :(
 
Could be a bad HOT which drives the flyback,

Did you try removing it and testing it out of circuit?
 
Yeah, that was the first thing I checked after the fuse blew the first time. HOT is good.
