Re: Doorknob caps...
to: Chris
No, those are electrolytic DC filter caps. A "doorknob" would be between
the HV DC diode - after the flyback - and between the rectifier diode and
the picture tube. In older Zeniths it is in the metal mesh "cage" with the
flyback.
The flyback can be used as a small 10-15 kV DC power supply with a current
rating of 1/2-1 mA.
