   The latter is unlikely to work since those flybacks also generate the   
   horizontal deflection, plus helper voltages, plus, plus. You'd also have   
   to replicate all that, separately, and then this whole project can turn   
   into an expensive and time-consuming can of worms.

   IMHO finding the flyback transformer or a used monitor you can scavenge   
   it from is the only viable option.
