Well, the anode leads are the most common. However, on some variations of this chassis there is a white ground wird that runs from the splitter to the main board. That is critical for the completion of the heater circuit. I have found bad connections in the connector at the splitter. You can replace the connector or solder it directly. The symptom is going to be more of an intermittant picture than that of a flashing picture, and I don't think there would be a clicking sound with that.
