If it isn't the horizontal output transistor or a Radio Shack componant like a resistor you are going to have a problem


Yep, getting model-specific components has become darned-near impossible. Long gone are the days when you could buy a replacement LOPT at a reasonable price, or even things like replacement scanning coils. You'll be lucky to source them at all, nevermind at a sensible price. frown

About the only way to find some of these parts is to canibalize another set.
