>>Ask a repair shop in Des Moines what they would charge to try and find the part and install it for you. It may or may not turn out to be cost effective but at least you will know the repair shop has a greater incentive to fix your TV than convince you to buy a new one. Second that. It's hard to believe, but there are still "real" TV repair shops around. I was amazed to find a competent one in Toronto -- they brought my parent's old TV back from the dead a couple of times when minor parts failed. They also tend to have a better idea re: where to look for discontinued parts. Typically the mfg doesn't actually "run out of parts" -- they usually dump them as surplus rather than keep them around. EDIT -- the link below mentions both the part number of the transformer (I'm guessing yours is an HFX-71) and someone who might have one in stock. Click me !! click me !!

Just to let you all know, I've checked with about 10 parts sources on the net and everyone says this flyback transformer is no longer available. So I guess Toshiba was not full of $hit.

So now the question is LCD, plasma or projector?

don't need another projector, the plex already has one in the HT room. This is for the upstairs living room, so possibly a plasma or lcd would be the ticket...

Randy,
Black Friday is coming up, you can probably get a pretty decent TV on the cheap.
I second the Black Friday idea! I got my Sony 60" A2000 on Black Friday last year for $2000, and a free core XBOX 360. Good deals are definitely to be had...
