Is there a commonly available flyback that will work in
the VT340? I've
been unable to locate a service manual for that model terminal, and don't
really know much about the flyback that it uses. Mine let out its magic
smoke some time back, and I'm really starting to miss that color VT.
When I fixed several VT220's/320's, I just read the part number off the
flyback
itself, and went to a local electronics shop and ordered a replacement
based on that. Bought the transisters from Radio Shack, and replaced them
without testing the original, since they were probably stressed out
from the fried flyback and I didn't want to see
those terminals come
back again.
I quit repairing them when replacements became cheaper to buy than the
transformer.
