Thanks James, I appreciate it. I don’t smell anything so I’m hoping to get a bit more time out of this SE/30 before having to replace the flyback. I’ll keep searching for a replacement though, wish me luck! :)

Thanks! I'll see how it's running once I'm done with recapping it and keep my eyes peeled for a replacement parts-only SE/30 analog board.

Thanks for the advice, yes I'll keep searching for a replacement but hoping I can get by for a while with the one that's in there. I watched JDW's video from beginning to end (super helpful!), I sent him a private message a few days ago but haven't heard back yet so I figured I'd post something...

I accidentally posted this in the wrong forum but I couldn't figure out how to delete it there. Sorry! Does anyone know if you're supposed to connect passive or amplified speakers to a Performa 6400? I heard that the built in subwoofer acts as a regular speaker but switches to a dedicated sub...
