I receintly fixed a Wyse 60 I bought at auction. The problem was a shorted
diode in the grid supply for the CRT. The shorted diode caused excessive 
current in the flyback transformer and power transistor. These componants
might have failed if the unit were left on long enough to cause thermal
problems. Fortunatly in my unit they were still OK.

Do you suppose these terminals have multiple common failure modes?
