My VT320 decided to fail last night. It was running fine, I stepped away, returned to it off and repeatedly clicking/ticking. It sounded like either a stuck relay or the flyback arcing. The screen would occasionally flash and the current draw would fluctuate between 2W and 17-25W until it eventually turned on and ran fine. Any theories? Should I distrust the VT320 or was it just something like a stuck relay that's older than me? I grabbed pictures of the board but they never seemed to actually get anywhere. I have had a whole bunch of VT320 give up on me over the years. It's always been the flyback... I think there might even be some info on the net about it. And I think I've heard of people locating a source for new flybacks. Johnny
