It's a G0-5 from what I've seen. I've never had to replace the flyback in
one though, so I can't comment on the flyback...

If it's a good price, get the monitor and just pick up some parts to fix it
 from Paul. One other thing worth buying (IMHO) from Paul are some
Ampliphone tubes with the XY yoke's still attached. He had a bunch when I
was there a couple weeks ago-- I got one (all I had room for) for $10.
Pair 'em up with a WG deflection board/neck/HV/chassis and you have a
really nice monitor with very low "pincushion" type distortion for cheap.
:-)

Be sure to look at Paul's "stack" of Williams CPU boards. Even I was
impressed. There must be 200 of 'em...
