I've got an HP 85a that didn't fare well in it's recent travels to me. The
flyback transformer broke away from the video board breaking 4 of the 6/7
leads (this was apparently an early flyback, it had a U shaped threaded rod
secured with nuts & washers on the backside of the video board that broke
at the outside bend). The unit did boot and run before it's trip so its
worth repairing. I've not been able to source the transformer (or the
video board) at anything below just buying a complete machine again.
Anyone got a lead on one or know of a transformer that could be substituted?
