>>what is a flyback trannie?<<A high voltage transformer that is usually the most expensive part of the TV besides the tube. Flybacks are "customized" for each television. I wouldn't mess with putting any type of dampening material directly onto the flyback.
>>I'm assuming the HOT is some sort of transformer?<<
Horizontal Output Transistor--probably the most prone to fail component in a television besides the power supply. It gets very hot and usually has biggish heatsinks attached to it. I wouldn't mess around with it.
>>Not sure about the shadow mask either.<<
That is contained inside the tv tube itself. Nothing you can do about it.
Maybe putting some dynamat or other damping material on the outside of the TV case will help but you have to have circulation for the components inside the TV (don't block the vents).
Estes made a good point about the wood cases of older TV's. I don't seem to
notice the whining of TV's in wooden entertainment centers as much as I do the TV's that are in the open.Tom S.
