Macintosh plus analogue board

[Elv1s]

Does this crack in the flyback housing matter other than cosmetic? It seems to be fine under.

I’ve never seen that happen before. Must’ve taken quite a hit with something. I’m not an expert in flyback transformers but I’m not sure how safe it’ll be without the plastic case intact.

It should be fine, although to prevent accidental damage to the windings I'd use some tape or something to hold the case together on it.

worse case can just take a soldering iron and melt that gap back won't be pretty but it will "seal" it back up

I would not use that Flyback! It can arc high voltage out of the crack and hit sensitive electronics near by, not to mention your hand if you are trying to service anything.

I have close to 20 CRT's in the garage, like MAC's they can become a bad habit, and I know for a fact that that is the death of most CRT's.

Be very careful and if I were you I would be trying to source a replacement or an entire analog board to replace this one.

Sorry this happened!
