This brings up a problem that collectors of '80's TV's are going to have. Up until a few years ago, there were companies that made generic flyback transformers (some of these were good, some were not so good) for all brands of '80's and newer TV's. Now that virtually no one is servicing these TV's anymore, the sources for flybacks have dried up. Years ago, the TV parts catalogs that I got had several pages of flyback transformers. Now, there are none and most everything is flatscreen parts.
Concerning your set, you certainly have nothing to lose because the set is not currently working and the chances of you finding an exact transformer are slim. As long as your good transformer has the same electrical specifications as the original, it should work; but, mounting it will be the issue. I agree that using heavy duty solid wire is probably your best bet and make sure you slide some heatshrink tubing on the wires so that they won't short to anything.
