The flyback transformer (FBT), also called a 'line output transformer' (LOPT), is a special transformer which is used to generate high voltage (HV) signals at a relatively high frequency.

They can be replaced, but be warned you need to replace the faulty unit with one identical in spec or nastys will happen, also since they are the generator of some seriously wicked HF High Voltages (20 - 50 KV) they can flatten you before you can say snot

Thanks for the link, and the warnings about safety and price, guys! I've worked on High Voltage Systems before, but I think I'll wait for TomLee to chime in before making any final decisions.

I can usually source even ancient Apple Replacement Parts that are not normally available to the general public . . .

. . . because I don't ask very often and only for a part whose replacement is VERY labor intensive. [
