I can honestly say I have NEVER seen a CTC170 flyback fail, ever.

I have seen the external focus divider block fail lots of times, and it
looks just like a flyback failure.
Just make 100% sure it is the flyback with an external drive tester.

It is also highly unlikely you will find a good used pull from that chassis.
The set was so expensive that most people still pay good dollars to have
them repaired. Then there was the really small production run Thomson had
on the set which will even limit the possibility of used supply further.

Call all the Thomsons parts distributors before giving up on a new one.

NLA OEM since I think 2002.
