ok, I am trying to create a plasma speaker off of these schematics. **broken link removed**
I have also tried to build it off of other schematics, like this one

No matter what I do, I cannot even create a spark. I bought a 12 v from the local electronics store and am using a nine volt for the other half. I am on my third flyback (first one, ferrite core broke in half, second and third I dont know if they work) that I ripped from old crt monitor. Could it be that my luck is that bad to get three broken flybacks??? The multimeter shows that I have voltage right before the flyback but I cannot for the life of me get any spark/arc whatsoever.
Anyone have an idea of what I am doing wrong?
