Percussive maintenance saved the day. I'm not used to beating on electronics and it actually working. I forgot that was kind of a thing. I know it might still have a problem but I'm choosing to ignore it because I haven't opened a CRT before and my ass is puckering about the anode cap on a 36" set. I have a small set I plan to break open to learn on but I haven't done it yet.
