Instead of waiting for HV transformers to be made, would it be simpler
to use some very popular, existing HV transformer (a nice one with the
HV diode built in) and design new drive electronics around it?

All the other components of a HV system seem readily available, and
MCM sells flyback transformers for like $10 - $50! Using one of
these, some commonly used current boost transformer, and a regulation
design that regulates the input voltage to control the output voltage
(like the WG did), it seems like we'd have a replacement for all HV
supplies by now. (It could easily be designed to work with ALL X/Y
monitors.)
