Both flys had the same lug arrangement and the same added cores for aux signals. Only the mounting plate holes were different, but who cares! Really, if a failed ctc16 or ctc20 can be saved by drilling s few holes and rearranging some pickoff coils I certainly would go for it.

Re-read your original (now edited....with the correction) statement - you stated it was used in the 16 TO 20, not true. 117426 may work with the 16.

As to the pinouts, significant differences between the two, with different pin 5, 7 and 8 - tire may be similar, with close resistance of the secondary winding, but the pinouts will have to be dealt with.

Yeah, the mortality of old round-tube color sets may be upon us, with the dearth of available flybacks and CRTs. There are probably several dozen flybacks/CRTs held by collectors, but getting them at a reasonable price may be problematic, and make a set beyond economical repair.

My saved searches on eBay for vintage roundie flybacks have yielded only one roundie Fly in 2 years - and that was just days ago - glad it went for cheap to one of us V-K'ers..
