Hi all, I'm trying to keep an old TV alive, it's an old 14CT2306/20S from Philips and it's the only think that fits into a furniture space in my parent's house, so that will not be replaced. I'm keeping it alive for 30+ years now. The LOPT developed some leaks in the past years but they where on the external side so I was always able to scratch the hole zones and put some epoxy that cured the leak. Lately it developed a nasty leak to the internal core, so it's time to find a replacement for it. I ordered an HR-6098 LOPT on ebay based on diemen HR equivalence and when it arrived, I noticed that it lacks pin 1. On the diemen site, the HR-6098 indeed has pin 1, schematics and actual chassis both agree that pin 1 is needed as horizontal signal going into an LM339 comparator, so I think I can't put this transformer in place of the original one. The ebay seller just said that since it's stamped with the correct name, it must be it and I'm just not able to install it correctly :) Is there any chance that the seller is right or my only option is asking for a refund via PayPal? What could be going on here? I wouldn't believe it's viable to make fake LOPT anyway. Maybe a mis-labeled unit that was so similar to the rigth one?
Thanks Frank
