so Im kinda stumped on this one. I'm pretty sure it's the flyback making the noise, but it may also be the high voltage plug into the bulk of the crt.. I can't quite pin point it.

I don't work on crts, I know there dangerous. Keep on hand in your pocket while working on them, this is know. I've been hit by one before and it does not feel good. I also proved all the grounds and the 12v line so I know those are hooked up fine.

Anyone have an idea? Is the crt dead or is it just the fly back?

Until then I will start in on the tiny crt again. And see what's going on with that one.
