I would agree that there maybe something else wrong with this set that
you have. I have had people bring me in sets that are dead claiming
the picture tube died so that is why there set is not working and
wanting to know what the picture tube will cost. All because they
look on the internet to what you call these newsgroups and do it
yourself electronics forums which is a bunch of crock. I would take
this set to a qualified repairshop to have it checked properly if it
means so much to you to track down a flyback for it. If not, then I
would have to agree with the other guys is to go out and get yourself
a new set.
