[HECnet] VT320 issues

[Gregg Levine]

Hello!
The last time I had a monitor throw a spanner into its flyback, and
this was a long while ago, when I found out why they need them, it was
a problem to find a new one.

Then since the first repair firm fouled it up, the second stuffed a
generic inside and it continued to work for many more years.

(Actually they looked up what was the designated non manufacturer's
replacement number for it.)

Cory see if the blasted thing has a serial number on it, and ask
Google. Worse thing that can happen is that the example will be
unknown to it.

I have had a whole bunch of VT320 give up on me over the years. It's
always been the flyback... I think there might even be some info on the
net about it. And I think I've heard of people locating a source for new
flybacks.


    Oh really?   That would be great...I have at least two with dead
flybacks.


*Heard of*. I have not ever fixed any myself. I'm running on VT525 nowadays.
Also have some VT420, VT510 and VT520...
