I have been able over the years to resurrect bad flybacks. You will generally find the insulation has cracked or else the is a carbon track across the insulation.

I would ascertain where the arc is by examining the flyback when briefly plugging in the set. That is if the carbon track is not immediately obvious. You could then remove the flyback and give it a thorough investigation. You most likely can remove the carbon track and then seal it with glyptol or silicon and it will as good as new.

Nothing is lost trying and there is a lot to gain.
