Need Help Identifying and getting a flyback for this chassis

looks like the PCB for a Promax, but I dont know for sure. Flyback tested bad, so i am looking for a replacement. Any help would be appreciated!

Actually, that looks like a sharp image and I think that particular flyback is unavailable. Hard to tell as I had one of those kicking around for a long time. Fits a 25" monitor. Anybody else want to take a stab at it?
 
Possibly a Kortek, too.

Although if you don't have the remote board or horizontal width coil, a flyback won't do much good...

Your monitor board looks like the one I have which I bought new from Happ in 2000. Mine was sold as a Happ Universal 19" monitor which is made by Kortek and also sold by Imperial,Tekbilt,Wico and a few more. Seems my Happ version and the Wico are very similar. Bob Roberts use to sell the flybacks but he is sold out. The part number KFS-60291, another part number is HR 8508 and the part number on my transformer is FE2004 which was also listed as a part number here.

Now for the good and the bad. Everyone I found that had the flyback listed was out of stock. I did find one place that said they could order it which was Dönberg Electronics LTD in Ireland . They say they can get one in about 10- days and then ship it to me. The only thing is it's a little pricey at €78.94 which is $117.23 USD so I ordered one. A few days later I got another email.
Please see new quote in the attached
Sorry got a new price from the supplier when we went to order
You may send on the balance 20.80 by paypal with the fee or you may
use credit card
Again I´am sorry but when we get new stock sometimes the price changes So that's € 20.80 which is another $30.29 USD so total cost for this fly back is now jumped from $112.30 to $141.90.
It took a wile but it did show up one day a month or so later and I have been to busy with other things, I haven't opened the box yet. I just hope when I do install it, it will last longer that the original one did. Wile I had the monitor for 12 years it's had very little run time.
You might be better off getting a universal chassis replacement.

Bob has that flyback listed on his site as still being in stock!! Mod, I do have the remote board, but there is no width coil on it, and looks like there never was!! Is it possible that the width coil is ommited?, or that it is just wired from the factory to be non adjustable. There is another coil in circuit with the traces for the location that is labelled H width.

Well I guess it's possible Bob got some more in stock but that was the only thing I really needed so I put together an order of stuff I might need later as well and when I got the return email with my order total he said he was sold out of the fly backs. That was 6-12-11
As for the width coil, I'll bet you need it too. Maybe someone robbed them both to fix another monitor.
Here's a picture of mine.

Thank you sam, I got the chassis in with the flyback pulled. I never even noticed the width coil at first. What I told the owner is that the other guy probably took the coil. He is calling the guy on it. So I will know more soon!
