And with the dearth of good flybacks for pre-1967 sets, you may find it hard to find one cheap. A good Fly 276, 277 or 308 is hard to find.
I'm like others in my recommendation - for a few microamps of current, look at cheap Black and White flybacks from the tube era, perhaps something for a 19 or 21" set, sure to be rated at enough current for a plasma globe. Without the capacitance of the CRT, they do put out a bit more of HV...we made a stationary 2" arc at a friends house one evening (drive was from an HR Diemen flyback tester ((EDIT: like this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HR-STVDST-01...EAAOSw2xRYlU~H ))) and the flyback was from a 19" Sanyo tube B/W set. The fly ate itself, presumably because we didn't load it like the yoke and CRT would normally. Arced to the core, and smoked the paper at the core.
