Chad, I don't think the flybacks should be too hard to get. The last one I got from Moyers was for a CTC-16 and ran about $35.00. I think they only carry the RCA ones which should be fine, but if you can get Thordarson, even BETTER!!!!! They used a much improved rubber coating. The RCA's used a wax material and when they aged and got hot, they would melt causing them to burn up. I kind of think RCA was thinking of "planned obsolesence" when they designed that flyback. The aftermarket replacements improved upon their flawed design. As for getting one type of flyback, I'm not sure......, but I don't think so. Rca must have changed them a bit as the part numbers aren't the same between most chassis even tho they look identical. My Uncle was a fanatic about having them be right tho. In the small town where I am from there was a repair shop that just did AWFUL rigged repairs. We would get some sets in for repair that the flybacks weren't even mounted in correctly. In the mid 70's there was a family who's tv started on fire and burned the house down and my Uncle always thought it was from one of those "rigged" flyback repairs. It's probably not wise to modify anything like that when you are dealing with high-voltage. That's just my opinion tho, and maybe some others have had success. Look in SAMS for the part numbers and check in with Moyers. If you can get me part numbers I will help you as well. I have an old sams for a CTC-17X chassis and the flyback is part number 115876. Maybe you can see if that part number is used in other chassis as well, but I have found that not to be the case. You've got some really nice sets and am hoping you will get them up and running in no time. Moyers does have quite the stock!!!!!! I do know they are out of the ones for the CTC-31 I was trying to get a spare for the one Doug bought from me and they were out, but am sure they will have some for other chassis! My parts-source has many Thordarsons which will be a FLY- #. If you can get those numbers I will help in any way I can.
