Hi Mark,
If you want to chip chase, I understand, but I can send you a complete board
for $25 plus postage. I will need a few days to find them. Also, the VT330
and VT330+ use different boards if I recall correctly.
Thanks and Good Luck, Paul

Hi guys,
I've received a replacement flyback transformer for the VT330. I'd like
some advice about what other components it would be worth replacing at the
same time. The transformer suffered from arcing but there doesn't appear to
be any physical damage to any other components.
I've got a replacement output transistor on the list, could anyone advise
as to what else would be worth replacing - I'd like to get the terminal back
to working condition with the best chance of a few years more use? My gut
feeling is to also look at diodes and high voltage capacitors on the output
side of the transformer, as well as the two large electrolytics on the input
side of the power supply. I'm presuming that resistors don't normally need
replacing. I have to weigh up the benefit of replacing components with the
possibility that I don't get an exact replacement and balls something up.
There are several high voltage (1000V+) capacitors are polypropylene. Do
these typically stay stable over time?
I have a circuit diagram and could put together an exact schematic if that
is useful in helping.
Thanks for the advice, Mark.
