I figured you guys would get a kick out of this. I was reading some factory service bulletins for a RPTV I'm working on and came across this one. This is a copy and paste of the procedure to find a high voltage leak of an anode wire where it connects to the flyback transformer.




Countermeasure:
To identify which PRT has a problem, wait until the arcing has stopped, then carefully wiggle the
anode connector wire with a wooden stick. BE CAREFUL NOT TO WIGGLE THE ANODE
CONNECTOR WIRE TOO HARD. When the defective PRT has been located, replace the
entire anode cap connector and wire.




Now I have to get a stick for my tool bag.

My CRT toolkit has a pair of chopsticks! (Great for inductor-coil adjustments on some PJs screen widths! Just whittle one end into a screwdriver blade.)
