Hi everyone.

What are people's thoughts on using a tripler to replace a 25KV EHT overwind in an old Philips colour TV? Does it put any undue strain on the primary of the transformer? I kind-of assumed that it wouldn't, but I've been talking to a pal of mine who says that it might, so I thought I would check. I have a very small "Universal" tripler which would fit nicely inside the cage and hopefully provide the required 25KV. If it wouldn't hurt the set, I would like to be able to use the TV regularly.

Thanks everyone.

From Mike.
PS. Just in case of a minor miracle, the part number of the original transformer is A328059 and it will be written on the paxolin terminal board.
