OOouuu ya...it was bulging at the top and extremely
hot. Lucky I didn't get a face full. I have a bag of
those so its not an issue, so I replaced it. But the
second one as well I put on backwards after metering
to be sure I was on negative and had the negative on
that pad...it went boiling as well...so thrid time a
charm flipped one around after checking another board
to see what the heck was going on.. I don't have a
schematic for this...but are what they are trying to
do here is run the pair in series? It doesn't seem
like a correct circuit for that.

Well I'm trying to find a guide with some tests to
narrow it down further..I had one HV board go because
the transformer bled out the side some goo and
died..that board was rebuilt so maybe I will swap out
the transformers...odd to have 2 go as I have read
these are supposed to 'rarely' die..
I assume you mean swap HV pcb? It is already a
different deflection in it. It chatters like
crazy...just no static. I'll check those
points..Everything is so old I'm afraid to pull on
anything rubber.

What exactly makes that chatter noise?

thanks for all your ideas!
