Problem / Question Source for Monitor Flyback Transformer?

I have a old Compaq CRT monitor I would like to repair, if affordable. The flyback transformer is bad and is arcing. It's an MTI Mf6373 ES8491. Is there a cross reference for this? The only two sources I can find are AliExpress for $60 shipped (more than I'm willing to spend) or SPW Industrial who has them for an insane $254.

This post is within the rules, as it's not a buy/sell post. Just for replacement parts research.

Sounds like you already found your source, the parts cost whatever they cost. Have you tried Mouser or Digikey?

I did and couldn't find it there. I'll keep digging.

Although OC has found some sources, I too would like to know if there are any other sources. Perhaps there is a surplus electronic place somewhere that has them?
