Hi Patrick

If you're referring to the deflector yoke, you could have problems
getting the wire off; ones that I have attempted to dismantle have been
glued/lacquered together.  Also a good chance that the wire may be
kinked.

Sorry to sound negative!  Split-bobbin transformers sometimes unwind OK.

Cheers
