Odds are that it's the same as some other parts that are out there,  but what 
specific characterizations that aren't provided might be useful to determine 
that I don't know offhand.

There used to be commonly yokes and flybacks and such available from places 
catering to the TV repair trade.  I don't know if any of these companies are 
still in business or not.  It may be too that some places selling to that 
trade might be able to help cross-reference such a beast.  I had to get a 
flyback for a monitor at one point,  a "BMC" (which I actually have service 
data for!) and was able to find one at MCM Electronics,  which I think has 
since been bought up by some other company but I think they're still around.  

Places like that might be worth investigating...
