Update: I THOUGHT I saw a little flash of an arc coming from the front around the CRTs as I heard the raspy noise. I wonder if there is one yoke arcing. If so, on this model can I unplug one yoke at a time as a test to isolate the possible bad one? Can I run the set with one unplugged? I think these are in paralell.
