When it comes to flybacks, does it have to be the exact same model or are there several models that may be compatible?

I'm in no hurry. I'd rather get this right the first time than buy something that won't work.

I didn't find a part number of the flyback itself, but I did find one on this part which the flyback plugs into (not sure what it is exactly). KT5100 2F115

That's so weird. Maybe another DECO Cassette System owner might know?

Nope, I don't see anything on the flyback. If it had a sticker it fell off long ago.

Not that I can see, unless it's under all that crud. I'll try cleaning it off and check.

Yeah I'll definitely need some help getting this out. Of course before I can even think about doing repairs I need to figure out what this monitor is. I wonder if all Sanwa flybacks are the same?

Good question. I'll have to take a look. Is that a common thing?

Thank you, that's why I'm very keen on getting this back into working shape. As you can see from the new pictures I took (sorry for the quality, but my basement is really poor lightning) the wood plank the circuit board is on is attached to the chassis if the front (bolted to the bottom of it)...

Yes and the monitor board says 20I10 on it as well (see pic). Not easily. The board is bolted to a piece of wood that's held into the cabinet at an angle. I'm not sure what the logistics are of getting that out. I'm still very new to this.

Whoops, I guess this needs to be moved to the monitor section. Sorry about that.

I have an full upright DECO Cassette System that has a bad monitor. It was working fine then a blue spark shot out the back and now I'm not getting any picture (the game itself still works though, I can hear it). I noticed the fuse on the monitor board had blown so I replaced that and tried...

Yeah I'm sure the monitor is just fine minus whatever fried. Where would I look to find someone? I'm in SE Michigan.

Since I don't think this is something I can do on my own (I'm not into High Voltage repairs) I looked up local arcade repair people in my area and found one that comes very highly recommended. He doesn't repair my specific monitor, but he says he can replace it with a nice Sanyo Ez 20 for...

Yes there's no power going to the CRT as far as I can tell (no hum, no glow). How do you test the flyback? That's HV stuff.
