This may be a dumb question but I'm curious.
Have you tried removing the high voltage winding (physically) and running the set without the winding to see if the current rises after a few minutes? On most failed flybacks I have encountered, the secondary breaks down and burns up. This could leave the primary and the pulse windings intact (could I say).
If this is the case, trying just the high voltage winding from another flyback may be the cure.
I "hot rodded" a Magnavox solid state years ago with great results. It died from a shorted (AC hot to chassis) FM tuner which I temporarily connected into the system (stereo and TV all together) and fried the TV and preamplifier.
My two cents.....
I am sorry to hear of the flybacks demise.
