I don't have one in my parts pile, do you? Listed as a ecift12290 in the service manual. Thanks.

Galaxy DX959 has a 12290 in that same position, and I do have one in my junk box if you think it will work.

Yes, that's it! This board has the smaller size cans. What do you want for the part, time to pull and shipping? I don't have a donor here for that board.

Nothing for the part or pulling it. It's just sitting on a shelf in my shed with other donor stuff I will probably never use so I am happy seeing it get used. I get home at 5am, I will pull it then.

I'll let you know what shipping is tomorrow when I go to the post office, but I don't imagine it will be much. PM me a shipping address when you get time.
 
I got bad news. I got this one a little too warm with the hot air and a pin pulled right out of it breaking the wire. I've never had that happen before.

I will dig in the shed to see if I have another one, but for now, the search continues.

Sorry man.

Hold on a minute. An amateur mistake led to an opportunity. I've always wanted to try re-winding one of those, so I jammed the pulled pin back in, carefully took the turns off writing down the winding pattern, and found some of the same size wire from a relay I previously cracked open. It is rewound and reassembled.

I certainly do, I've thought of rewinding those before but never seem to have the time or patience. I bet the rewound coil is just as good as the original.

The only thing that has me baffled is the turns ratio. The schematic and circuit makes it seem like a step up should go there, but the split winding was 5+5 and the other winding was 11 turns. The center pin was not used on the galaxy, so a turns ratio of 10:11. Not what I expected there.

I should have it in the mail within the hour.
 
I agree, maybe I will try my hand on rewinding the blown one, after detox from caffeine, of course, and looking for a transformer to yank some enameled wire from. At least this one doesn't have a capacitor to deal with.
If you get into that particular one, this is what I found and would be curious what you find.

The one I mailed was a two-part ferrite. A ferrite sleeve that goes over the coil and the slug inside it. The coil form had five divisions for windings, lets call the one closest to the pins winding slot 1 and slot 5 being at the top. The outer winding was the center tapped one going from an outside leg, 2 turns in slot 2, 3 turns in slot 3, brought back to the center pin, then 3 turns in slot 4 and 2 turns in slot 5, finishing at the third pin. The untapped winding is the inside winding with 3 turns in slot 1, and 2 turns in the remaining 4 slots for a total of 11 turns.

Well, I removed the thing from the board easy enough. Removing the case and ferrite ring was another story. This one was full of glue, between everything. Pulled a pin out while removing the cover and broke the ferrite pulling it off. If I can get the glue dissolved I will check the turns and layout, but it looks like what you have.
 
I do have one other galaxy, a 979, that had water damage. The can is corroded (which is why I didn't try to pull that one) but the ferrite inside is probably good. I can try to get the sleeve/ring out if you still want to try fixing that one.
