Our venerable Mac Plus has lost its video. All that is left is a faint
vertical line up the center of the screen. When my Mac 128k needed a new
"analog board" I seem to remember the same thing happening. In both cases
the final failure was preceded by intermittent  flashes on the screen.

I have a few sources for flyback transformers, but it would be nice to know
if I have correctly identified the problem before I buy the part.
