Sony repair help...

[TedJ]

I looked at the set, and there are multiple different numbers on the flyback. I looked up the ones I could see without being a contortionist, and didn't get any results, so I looked up the model number on Tritronics website.

They show this as the correct part, as well as two other non-sony replacements made by ASTI and DIEMEN. Do you think that any of the other generic replacements will work ok, or should I stick with Sony? I'm leery to spend $82 on hopefully fixing the set w/o testing to prove that its bad, unless this is really that common...?

Thanks radiotvnut, your help is great, and thanks in advance to anyone else who chimes in to help me out.
