Winding Heat repair in progress

I've just spent some time trying to get the monitor working in my Winding Heat machine (it died yesterday)

Now the monitor chassis that was in there may be a little bit more ill than I first suspected (the core the of lopt is ratting around - which possibly indicates it is or has been overheating at some point)

I have a second chassis which is blowing HOT's due to the oscillation drive transistor having dry solder joints causing intermittant oscilation. I am hoping that I have just fixed this and I have just fitted my only good 2SC3686 HOT, so lets hope it doesn't blow or the game is going to be out of action for even longer till I source parts.

Wish me luck
