You really need a glass or plastic tube to put around your ladder.
That way, the hot air from the arc rises, carrying the arc with it.

Steve,
I took apart (sawed and pryed etc) the flyback just to see how is is
constucted.
I purchased another old $2 monitor. I removed the CRT and made a
Jacobs Ladder. The idea came from this website
My next step will be to remove the flyback from this old Radioshack
color montior. It has what I think is a seperate Hv rectifier -
square cube about 1"x1"x1" that is located after the flyback and
before the ctr.

The flyback has a ferrite core going down the middle of the
windings
and extending outside to form a large 0. This large 0 is made
with a
split which is held together by a large U shaped spring clamp. Is
the
external portion where to wrap these new primary windings around?
Yes.
The crack (from falling form the workbench) is the ferrite and is
all
the way through. The large U clamp keeps it still in one piece.
Do
do think it would be ruined?
Probably fine for your purpose. I would not put it back in a TV or
monitor and expect it to work, but for experimenting with high
voltage
you won't be running it at anywhere near its full power so it will
probably be OK.
