 Ŀ       I had to repair mine
                again recently,
      so I made a note
       of the circuit.

It uses a standard E ferrite transformer core        Ŀ
except there are two bobbins one on each end        Ŀ  
rather the one in the middle. This magnetically     Inv     Zap 
isolates the high voltage fly killer circuit &      bob     Bob 
it can be shorted out or not without affecting        
the UV lamp inverter much.                           


If the UV tube gives up, try a double sided PCB with 2 rows of blue LEDs
mounted instead of the lamp & across 12V...

+12V Ĵ   2x15mA,  6 Blue LEDS    -ve
       180RĴ>Ĵ>Ĵ>

And to reduce the inverter power, add a 10n across Collector to Emitter &
change the 1K5 to 12K for 75mA @ 12V total load.

Why don't U send an interesting bul?
