When I worked in TV shops, an arcing filament winding was the only reason we ever used one of the SS replacements. Remove the filament winding, install the diode, and the set was fixed. Cheaper than replacing the flyback, or even rewiring the filament winding in most cases.

Otherwise, the SS replacements were considerably more expensive than a 3A3, 1B3 or whatever.
