Yeah, the mortality of old round-tube color sets may be upon us, with the dearth of available flybacks and CRTs. There are probably several dozen flybacks/CRTs held by collectors, but getting them at a reasonable price may be problematic, and make a set beyond economical repair.

My saved searches on eBay for vintage roundie flybacks have yielded only one roundie Fly in 2 years - and that was just days ago - glad it went for cheap to one of us V-K'ers..
