Joe,

It does not. However I have other blues with dead flybacks that have
had the mod done in the past. I am going to pull the mods off of them
and transfer the components to my one working blue board (maybe later
tonight or more likely in a day or two). Will post results when I'm
done.

Tonight though, my goal is to get the Penn Tran on line (a green
board). It's missing a few transistors and caps which I am going to
replace. Are the mods necessary or beneficial when using a Penn Tran or
Wintron?

Thanks,
Noel
