Now once a upon a time i would not even be interested in repairing such an old monitor.
But im getting into collecting and restoring vintage computers and want to keep an authentic monitor of the period working for my computers and this was a model i was trying to find for some time so was stoked to locate one, it was sold as working and indeed worked perfect when i got it home.
Unfortunatley after running for about an hour it started making an arcing sound and then no picture, i discovered the arcing came from the flyback transformer, these things were as common as mud once upon a time, but im hoping i can find a replacement or another transformer that i could substitute that is easier to find.
The make and model stamped on it is a Sampo FEA209 or the HR generic replacement was HR 46574, ive contacted them and they dont stock them anymore.
So any help in finding one that could replace it would be wonderful!
Seems ironic I know, but its worth it to me if i can get it working again, it was working perfectly until then. Using an LCD is just not the same on these classic computers
I will add a photo when i get a chance, as it may be able to help .
