I have an apple M2943 15" multisync monitor that needs a new flyback transformer, as it makes loud zaps and pops every 3-4 seconds in between showing a great looking image. I am no stranger to power supply repair and such, but I have never swapped out a flyback before. However I can't find one that has the same part numbers anywhere on ebay or google. Was hoping someone here knew something about flybacks and if you can substitute as long as it fits physically and has the same amount of leads coming out or if there is some rating or something else that needs to be taken into account. The flyback that is currently bad has these markings...

I have been reluctant to swap out flybacks in the past cause everyone scares you to death, literally. But I am prepared to try (after a confirmed discharge of course) cause I can't seem to get a working vintage CRT monitor for my Power Mac. I have received 2 monitors on ebay, but UPS busts them up before they arrive (one shadow mask breakage, other tube issues). Can't seem to find any old apple CRTs in my area (100 miles south of Tulsa), so if anyone had input on a substitute flyback or if you can even do that I would appreciate any and all input.
Thanks..
