If all the above tests are passed then either the Horizontal Output transistor or the FBT is defective. The
Horizontal Output transistor can be checked using an Ohmmeter. The Base-Emitter junction should check the
same as a normal BJT. When checking the Collector-Emitter junction, note that a diode is connected in parallel
(the C-E junction will test the same as the B-E junction).
If Q505 or 506 checks OK then replace the FBT.
NOTE: The amplitude of the HD at the collector of Q505 or Q506 is approximately 1000V. If attempting to make
a measurement at this point, use a X10 probe and make sure the oscilloscope can handle the power at its input.
Pincushion Circuit (reference Figure 4-3)
An inverted parabola waveform is used to control the amount of drive current supplied to the FBT to compensate
for the pincushion distortion. The E/W signal (inverted parabola) is output on IC001/pin 47 (ref. Waveform 4-1)
and passes through Buffer/Amp IC565/pin 5 to IC565/pin 1 (ref. Waveform 4-2). The signal is then applied to
gating circuit IC561/pin2 and the HD pulse on IC561/pin 3 (ref. Waveform 4-3) is used to gate the parabola
waveform through at the horizontal rate. The resultant signal is output on IC561/pin 1 is amplified by Q521 and
Q522. The output signal of Q522 is applied to the anode of D505 (ref. Waveform 4-4) and controls the conduction
of D505. Depending on the level of conduction of D505, the current supplied to the FBT will increase or decrease.
