It could also be the horizontal drive transistor.... you could try taking it to an old school tv repair shop, assuming you can find one.

When the flyback goes it often takes out the horizontal output transistor as well. Does anyone still sell flybacks for these? I also have one that went bad.

If you can translate the part number into a Phillips or Daewoo number, you might find one from a tv parts retailer. Back in the day, we ordered a couple that way. I think they came from a place called MCM electronics. They're probably getting much scarcer now, with LCD screens taking over.

Bad solder on the flyback can cause these troubles also. It is worth trying to resolder the connections to save it.

Good point on the solder connections. Back when I was an Amiga repair guy, I saw so many solder failures, that I made it a habit to retouch those joints whenever I had reason to open up a monitor.
