Predictas?

I have a 17" Predicta and a Motorola 19CT1 color set. I've been looking around for ways/people who can rewind vintage TV flybacks. I was lucky to locate a good used flyback for the 19CT1, but am still looking around for a way to finagle a way to rewind the bad one. Could you tell us more about how you rewound your Predicta flyback? Would your friend be interested/persuaded to do a few more flybacks?



Thanks,
Joe
