But please, not flyback.
Flyback transformer if you must, but not flyback. Not unless you are a merkin


Strictly speaking, LOPTs and flybacks are two different things.

LOPTs refer to an older design where the line output stage was boosted
to about 9kV by a conventional wound transformer, and again to about
28kV by a device called a tripler to produce the final anode voltage.

There's a pic of this arrangement he

in the first image, the green box-shaped object is the tripler, in the
second, it's blue.

In both cases, the line output transformer is the wound device next to
the tripler.

Flybacks refer to an all-in-one unit which eliminates the separate
first-stage transformer, such as this:
