In desparate need of a flyback for 1084S-D1! Please HELP!

 Last time I checked, Poland <> Chicago... :-)

Looks like you have never been to Chicago - seriously. At least some parts of it.

The man that I have given the monitor to is a 30+-year-in-the-business friend of my dad. I don't know how good he is but I think he's quite good.

If he has been around that long perhaps he knows someone that still rewinds flybacks - yes, in the 'old days' when a living room color tv in the U.S. cost (http://www.tvhistory.tv/tv-prices.htm) one third of a new car (http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1960-1969-volkswagen-beetle1.htm)  there were places that rewound them.

The flyback is part of the tuned circuit of the horizontal deflection amplifier, so you *probably* need to replace it. If you could get away with just supplying the HV from an external source, they are not hard to build:

Thankfully, we have a Polish web auction site that lists two 1084S-D right now.

I am surprised by two things; One, that I could read, or at least understand, much of the Polish technical text on the site; Two, that the monitor markings, shipping boxes, even the manual was in English - I thought CBM was more internationalized than that. Especially since the founder was from Poland!

I've thrown away no less than 5 108x monitors over the past few months due to various small issues.  I just don't find them worthwhile.

Next time, let me know and I'll come pick them up and give you Gołąbki! I could at least scavenge a power supply as a spare.
