The HV oscillator's power transistor is mounted to the rear panel. | |||
Since its collector has 40 kHz with tens of volts peak-to-peak a decision was made to add metal plating to the transistor's Bakelite cover to prevent EMI. | |||
Unexpectedly, the outgassing from the Bakelite caused the metal plating to be blister, which shorted the collector to the case. | |||
When this problem was discovered, the metal plating was removed from the design. In hindsight, the designers didn't believe the plating was necessary in the first place. | |||
