Ok unfortuantly, i didnt build a flyback circuit, i took apart an old TV and used the lead off of the picture tube, however i did this about 2 years ago and never took any pictures, so i will detail makeing an electrode, and getting it mounted, but i will have to refer you to another instructable with some pictures, in order to see what you need to do, to get your power source.

   I used a piece of 8 gauge wire, mine was a piece of ground wire, so it had no insulation, hence the heat shrink tubing you see in the picture, but i'd use wire that still has insulation on it, grind one end into a nice fine point, then, I took a piece of wood, and test drilled holes  with diffrent bits, to make sure I got a nice tight hole drilled to put the electrode into, I added some pictures of all of this below. I used about 2 feet of wire with the thickest insulation I could find, and soldered one end of it to the electrode, the other end went thru the spring and down to the scanner bed, I had about 6 inches left over at the scanner bed, I stripped it a 1/2 inch and soldered it.

  Then in one corner of the aluminum plate, I drilled a small hole, I took about 2 feet of black wire and stripped 2 inches off the end of the wire, I put it thru the hole I drilled in the aluminum, and wrapped it about 3 times, then hotglue'd it to the aluminum plate. and that was that.

  Now im going to turn you over to another instructable for the info on the flyback, Since as I said,  never took any pictures of my modified TV =(

         NK5 is the author of the instructable about hacking a computer monitor, I take NO credit for anything inside of his instructable, and have read it myself, its very good, and i wold like to thank him/her for the posting!
