Default Where to get Magnavox flyback transformers

Many times when replacing the flyback, I also found the HOT to be
damaged. On some occasions, I found that I had to replace a number of
high ESR caps. When considering the labour alone, the customer can
almost buy a newer set with newer technology, and have a full warranty.

You will be extremely lucky to find someone who has stock on these, if
they can still find them!

Most people are trying to dispose of these sets rather than fix them.
If you look at the value for the time involved, plus the cost of the
parts, these sets are not worth servicing.

Since the FB is bad, chances are that there are other problems to also
be serviced. Considering the age of the set, I would not be confident
in its rerliability.

If you want a newer CRT set, there are many deals around t'll they run
out of them.

Why do you say "Since the FB is bad, chances are that there are other
problems to also be serviced?"

The vast majority of flybacks that are bad, IME, are the sole problem.
Now
some of the Philips products hav been known to have concurrent failures
of
the flyback oand other parts, so is this one of those?
