The VT100 FMPS from bitsaver's:
	http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/terminal/vt100/MP00633_VT100_Schematic_Feb82.pdf
has schematics for two different monitor boards (pages PDF.43 & PDF.58), the first indicated as being from Ball Bros.
Does that cover it?

Dates on the Ball Bros version look like 78, while the other looks like 79.

(Anecdotally: didn't have any problems with the power supply or monitor on the VT278 when it was powered up after many years.)
