Power Macintosh G3 AIO Flyback (replacement, diagnosis)

So I was the lucky beneficiary of an AIO. I had a fun time putting 10.4.11 on it, generally enjoying its usability (great speakers), until I heard a REE-REEEE and smelled a crispy electronics smell. Has anyone replaced a flyback in one of these? A friend suggested one from another Apple monitor, can anyone confirm that this is a possibility? Thanks!

Well, shoot. This just happened to me, too! Ordered a replacement G3 AIO flyback transformer via the website linked above. We'll see if they actually have any... these are pretty old parts at this point.
