I'm the guy who is usually selling flybacks. Well now that I need one. No go! Actually I never had this one when I bought the Thordarson surplus.

My set is around a 1956 Maggie with a CTA492AA chassis. Yep! One of those headache vertical chassis. Everything comes out as a unit which is usually nice, but no matter what you need to get at for repair other than a tube will require CRT removal.

Anyhow, the Sams folder I have lists the fly as a Stancor A-8295 as the one to have other than OEM 380623 because the Thordarson FLY-79 may cause unsuficient width and Sams recommends some tweaking to fix the problem. I don't want any more problems..

I used this set regularly back in the early 90's until the night the screen went dim and the smoke rose from the HV can. I need to remove the crt and check all of the components in the HV/Horiz sections. A bad cap or a resistor either one could overheat the flyback.

Shouldnt a good flyback perform almost room temperature? No signifagant heat, right?

The main thing is, does anybody that have this flyback? I've got a lot of NOS flys and yokes. I would make someone a generous trade if they need anything. Lots of tubes as well.
