I wonder if, within the tube color TV world, the flybacks are similar enough electrically (impedance, transformation ratios, etc.) that a near-universal one could be built that only required shorting or opening various terminals/turns to adapt it to all the original circuits. Yes, there would be a lot of mechanical work required to make these connect to each chassis, but since most or all HV circuits are in cages, they would not be seen very easily, the same as putting new caps under the chassis of a TV as we do now.
