Mid June update! I took apart a CRT (old heavy) computer monitor because I know what I am doing! There is HIGH VOLTAGE in a computer screen and it can HURT OR KILL if you aren't careful, so it you aren't 100% sure of what you're doing - DONT DO IT! Learn by watching me do it instead
Its amazing how much components and parts can be salvaged out of these old CRT displays, yet people throw them away everyday.
You were getting the thicker and brighter arc becuase it looks like that flyback has a built in capacitor that will store a charge whilst the air breaks down.
