get a big hammer


Alternativly I asked this very question of a TV technician.

Check the pinouts on the yoke and chassis.

I cant remember the exact names but essentially if you have the right amounts of pins on the chassis and on the yoke they can be wired together. The yoke doesnt have to actually mount on the pcb. So for arguments sake i was told to look at the chassis (at the back probably under the yoke connector)and it should have printed on it what the pin connections are, say R ,G,B sync etc. The get the pinouts from your yoke, solder a wire from each pinout to chassis pcb and then get a m8 to try turning it on for you. you could turn it on yourself but this may be a bit risky to your own health.
Also dont forget to discharge the anode - very simple to do. I read some threads and got a little confused so asked the tv guy. He has a long bladed screwdriver with wire wrapped around it or better soldered to it. At the end of the wire he has an aligator clip. He attatched the aligator clip to the earth wire that runs around the tube. Then sticks the screwdriver up under the anodo till he hears a pop........waits a few minutes then does it again. Done
If it ain't broke give it to me...i'll soon fix that
