Tom, if I recall it was not fastened to the chassis¡­ at least in the same way. ?If the power transformer is near by the choke, it¡¯s flux can/might? use a bit of the chassis and the choke could pick it up from the flux in the chassis. For that I would try removing steel fastening on one hold down point or both and grounding the core for safety at one point only or separately.? You could Put a little space under the choke as a test?

?

But it is also possible that wires from the on/of switch run too close to the BASE ?switch.

?

If you want more stable scope traces sync to the ¡°line¡± or whatever it might be called now.

Interesting Don........

When I replaced the choke, CH2, this all went away so I don't know how it would be related to the power xfmr?

Tom and/or anybody still tuned in. Still looking for what really failed and how.

For anyone wondering about the details and possible source, I copied a bit of your first Video so I could take a closer look.

I see 60 Hz and strong third harmonics, and no visible high harmonics. It reminds me of core saturation.

Power transformer magnetics and primary is the only source I can think of. Any comments?
