Horizontal coil temperature
Posted by: superjer2000 on 2019-04-07 20:59:12
I just finished recapping an SE FDHD analog board. I was getting some very minor video interference and so I was checking temperatures with my FLIR IR thermometer. After about 30 minutes I was surprised to see the horizontal coil at about 63c. 

I know these coils are usually one of the hottest parts of the analog board but I don't know if I recall it getting this warm.  Has anybody else ever checked analog board temps?  Any memory of what the hottest component was and if this reading seems out of line?
