When I fixed several VT220's/320's, I just read the part number off the
flyback
itself, and went to a local electronics shop and ordered a replacement
based on that. Bought the transisters from Radio Shack, and replaced them
without testing the original, since they were probably stressed out
from the fried flyback and I didn't want to see those terminals come
back again.

I quit repairing them when replacements became cheaper to buy than the
transformer.
