I can make a QuickTime video with an old camera I have, it won't have sound but should show problem pretty good. I will have to try to figure out a way to upload it though. I was thinking about starting a YouTube account just for this. Can YouTube upload QuickTime? I called the local TV repair man and left a message hopefully he can get back to me Monday too. Anyway I will try to get the video done and uploaded tomorrow.
EDIT: Just made my YouTube account and it will take the video, expect a full showing tomorrow.

Well if it is actually sparking (and not just making a snapping sound) then I would assume you could remove the neckboard and visually see something that is "amiss", something like a burn mark where something is arcing.
I agree, tele repair people wont/can't help you with this situation. Hell, they haven't "helped" people since we were watching Father Knows Best.

Dude... if you can solder 2 wires together you can do a cap kit and flyback replacement.
Seriously. It's that easy.

It's the flyback for sure. It's easy for you and I, but I can understand it overwhelming people. The horse shoe connection and tons of solder they use on those legs would be a royal pain in his ass, too.
With that said, I'd much rather do flyback replacements then cap kits. Lot less tedious.

It'll be a good learning experience. The annoying thing is usually seating the new fly since they don't usually line up very well. K7000 cap kits are very easy also. If you have any soldering experience you can do it yourself. If not, just watch the local guy do it a few times first. BTW, with those new flys you will need to turn up the screen pot on the fly to get a picture once you turn it on. It will be completely black on screen at first.
