I am waiting on the high voltage diode replacement.

I did try to take to pieces the flyback I purchased in the hopes it would somehow, magically, be the exact same spec. (see photos above)

What happened in this dissection was a disaster. I shaved away the white silicon (?) material until I exposed an epoxy tube into which the diode was set. I then tried to break though this epoxy and expose said diode. Nope. The entire thing shattered, the diode sheared in two. This wasn't really a smart move: in the beginning I thought it was brilliant.

I will update here with news of triumph or failure in this next phase.
