The worse news is when a connection to a transformer goeslike this, otherss can as well. the not so bad news is that if the transformer mounts to a PC board, the solder maty hve simply oxidized over the years. If so, resolder them ALL, or you are likely to be doing it again.
I do not know if it does solder to a PC board, you got the thing right ther e so just look.
Be CAREFUL taking it out, I suggest a solder sucker followed by wicking and forcibly bending each pin with the iron, and then cold to make sure the co nnection is broken. You are delaing with thirty year old plasic here, and w hile breaking that is not a big concern, you could pull on one of the wires going into the actual windings. I had this happen on a flyback once, and i t had to be replaced.
But the main thing is not to screw up ay more of them, and even if you cano t fix it, resolder them all anyway, put it back in and then we look for tho se "injunearin" solutions.
I think you'll get lucky maybe. If it is PCB mounterd and you got good eyes ight, you will probably be able to do this.
I know this reply is not in the exact hierarchy, but too bad.
Anyway, you should be able to do this.
wanna hear a wierd thing about this ? when I worked ion TVs a long time ago , the wires started breaking on a transformer in a Zenith chassis. Where I worked it came in with no CRT filaments. (solid state, those werew the onl; ly filaments). It was the chassis that stood up with the modules and would flip down to work on the stuff behind. A really good chassis actually, vert reliable and produced a good picture. Some even had really good sound.
So I work on this thing at work, and they had a filament fuse. It was not b lown, the voltage was not coming out the transformer. Most people would obt ain a 6.3 volt transformer and sub the filament supply, but I did it cheape r, and this is why I got the big bucks. Well not that big, but OK. I simply put a winding of HV wire around the flyback. In those days they used tripl ers, so the voltage around the flyback was not all that high.
Years, and I mean yrears later I was buying tradeins and actually selling t hem out of the house. Damn, one Tradin' Times ad would sell five tVs, and b ack then I am gettiong like $125 for these things.
So, eventually my source comes up with the same model. Not only the same mo del, but the SAME TV ! I recognized my handywork around the fly, and the wi res going to the CRT socket.
The problem with the set is that the picture was shifted down vertically. I t also was eating vertical boards. the centering control ha a very limitesd range and would not center the picture. If you got it to fill the top of t he screen, the overscan was too excessive. And I mean too excessive. A doub le positive.
This was a DC coupled circuit, one of the earlier ones that used a ramp gen erator and a comparator. ALL DISCRETE COMPONENT as well.
Anyway, it was fed by a sl=plit supply from the power transformr and the center tap for that winding opened up. The circuit apparently pulled a bit more current on one side and that caused the offset DC. It had to be the de sign and not just certain cumulative tolerances and shit like that because several vertical board were installed and exhibited the same symptom.
I did not attempt to reapir that transforme because we could get them back then. Piece of cake, just take one out of a chassis in the boneyard, no pro blem.
BTW, this is not my thing so I am not looking, but really there are alot of people selling parts on eBay. I would at least give it a shot.
