You may still be able to use them:
Try wrapping a few turns of wire around your flyback core, away from other windings, and feed these transformers with that. Then use the output side of the transformer to power a tube with a heater the same voltage and current ratings as that of the picture tube, and look to see if it looks to be the right amount of heater glow. Adjust the number of turns on the flyback. And check to see if the horizontal deflection on the picture tube didn't shrink too much. If that looks good, then try running the picture tube heater off it.
