I don't remember who it was, but someone had run across a palette of what
appeared to be NOS Wells-Gardner Color XY Flybacks. Since I had a NOS WG
Flyback waiting to go into my monitor I volunteered to compare the two.
What I found has to be one of the more cruel jokes in Vector-gamer history...
The Flyback looks *exactly* like a color WG flyback, right down to the
screen/focus block (and this guy just found 200+ of them!). Alas, the
flyback is completely different internally! *sigh* Now that I think about
it, maybe I'll go through and test the actual winding values on the Sencore
here at work. It definately wasn't "pin compatible", but maybe it's
hackable otherwise. (I doubt it though.)
