If you plan on keeping the set, I do not recommend "patching" the flyback. When they start arcing, they usually leave a carbon trail over the path of the arc and this trail is conductive. Also, the arcing may have shorted some the windings in the transformer thus reducing its reliablilty. It is not unusual to see flyback failures in RCAs and assuming that the set was still playing while arcing, there should be no other problems. If it was not still playing, you are probably going to also have to replace a least the horizontal output transistor.
