Re: WG 6XXX Deflection: P.T.C.

You still need the PTC (or equivalent). Simply switching off with a relay without SLOWLY ramping the power to the coil
down will end up magnetizing the tube instead of demagnetizing it.

I'll try contacting Workman Electronics. They used to sell replacement PTCs for TV sets.
