Heathkit H89 - no vertical (fixed - open L201)

Hi

I had intermittent (1-2 out of approx 50 power ons) vertical on a newly
acquired H89.

L201 in vertical section had opened up - 680uh...

I replaced with the closest I could find : a 1000uh....works fine.

I think a previous owner had noticed same problem because the vertical yoke
connector pins had been bent/twisted and tighted several times and one of
them just came apart when I did the same thing...check the vertical yoke
connector...Problem was most probably intermittent and he taught it was the
connector and tightened connections when vertical would go out.

I must admit these things arent really a pleasure to take apart...

Thanks those who offered help

Claude
