I just bought an NHL Open Ice. Sounds great, looks great, powers up! Plays blind.
Monitor is a WG 25k7197
Replaced 2 fuses: one on the chassis (was fried when I got it), one of the power supply (I fried)
No neck glow
No pop when discharged
A diode test of the 2 HOTs indicates they are both dead
The power block is sending 133v to the monitor.
I've searching all afternoon, is there a way to determine if the flyback is bad without electrocuting myself? There seems to be a powdery black residue (almost like black chalk dust) built up on the flyback where the anode wire meets the chassis.
Also, If i have a chassis professionally capped and add a new flyback (this is out of my skill set), and attach it to the existing tube, is there any chance the repaired chassis could be damaged by a bad tube?
Thanks kindly in advance,
dd
