	analog board repair is more than just swapping the flyback (sometimes
	it is even less :-);  sometimes it is only cold solder, sometimes it
	requires replacing a couple of caps, too ...

	here is my official recommendation again:  

	1) check for cold soldering on the connector for the cable
	   to the yolk for the 'smoking' (and smelling) cap

	3) if you can see sparks at the flyback, you know that's not right ...

	4) if you are endangering your life by doing 1 to 3, you
	   are probably not getting to 4 ...

	5) call a place that does repair mail-order, my recommendation
	   (because he is local) is Rick Allphin at Omnitek,
		  phone (512) 345-4339

	   expect to pay between $50 and $80.

   	I never heard of a repaired board break down again ...
