Thanks, John, I have checked it to the extent my test equipment will allow
(DVM, scope).

I removed the flyback and inspected it for broken connections as you've
indicated. All connections were sound. However, I still have a problem
determining the continuity of the HV secondary winding. I read
"Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ Testing of Flyback (LOPT) Transformers" on the
web and it was ambiguous about measuring the flyback coil continuity.

If I cannot read a finite resistance (before the HV rectifier) and *any*
identifiable terminal on the flyback itself, I have a broken flyback -
right? Unless I'm missing something here, or took the wrong exit to the
Magic Kingdom, the HV secondary is open. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Where the anode wire physically connects to the core there is a small amount
of movement. Could this wire have worked itself loose? If so, what is the
likelihood of success in removing that epoxy, RTV or whatever it is coating
the transformer and resecuring the connection?

I really appreciate your help.

Robert
