Default Re: My first foray into Old model TV repairs.

The ion trap on this model is incredibly tight due to a very strong retaining spring. You have to take care when fitting and definitely release some of that tension on the spring. If it is just a scratch it should hold up ok. John.

PS Picture of a 991T ion trap complete with it's crocodile grip spring removed from a 991T chassis recently kindly donated by another Forum member. This ion trap does not have the protective sleeves on the pole pieces, it's metal to glass contact. J.
