[GreenKeys] Model 40, Anyone?

[Paul Kasley]

I have a working M40 printer and a spare NOS chain. I should someday 
make a movie for Utoob.

However, the flyback in my CRT is arcing internally and I'm in need of 
the 410854 HV board. Any leads on the board alone or the entire 40MN101 
at a ***reasonable*** price appreciated.
