This biggest single contributor to the horizontal scanning frequency noise
came for a poorly constructed flyback transformer.


Flashback memory time. I don't know *how* many TV sets, mine and friends,
that I kept alive for a while longer by painting the flyback transformer
with that red, high voltage "Klyptol" stuff. It usually stopped the hissing
and squealing for a while but eventually the transformer would carbon track
to ground.

I also would *like* to forget how many of those TV sets threw me on my rear
because the high voltage section wasn't discharged.

When you think about it, all this new, low voltage computerized stuff is
kinda boring. No challenge at all.

I just gave away a Sony 27" color that I bought in Korea 28 years ago. The
color may have faded somewhat, but it was still good. It had been packed
and shipped about six times. I can't believe how well that thing was made.
