Hello--

Many thanks to all who responded to my plea for help!  I bought a
flyback transformer from the company mentioned below.  I'm typing on
my Mac as we speak, and now I can even read what I'm typing.  The
flyback from MCM Electronics is larger then the one that comes with
the Macintosh, but there are 2 pinouts inside the Mac (1 larger and 
1 smaller), the replacement part fits the larger pinout.  
Additionally, I was warned by several people that the same thing will 
probably happen to my Mac in another 4 years.  I only hope the 
little guy lasts that long!

Unfortunately, I went to see a NeXT Computer demo last night, and my
little Mac pales in comparison.  Next time I have a spare $20,000.00
laying around maybe I'll pick up a new computer!

Colleen

p.s. I received not a single flame.  Thanks all for the restraint.

Here is a typical response I received (in case someone else has a similar
problem):

This is a common problem with macintoshes.  Replacement flybacks are available
from 
	MCM Electronics
	650 Congress Park Dr.
	Centerville, OH 45459-4072

	(800)-543-4330

The part is j-33-980.  The price is $33.80.

They also have submini din-8 connectors for $1.65 each.  Part number j-27-647.
I gathered this info from their nov 1989 catalog (#22).
