hello, Ive owned this set since 1997. Its teh 40" tube set. Recently
the pic has taken a while to focus. Today the pic is completely out of
focus and their is a loud cracking/arcing sound from the back . I was
wondering if their is a way to tell if its the picture tube or flyback
.. Is their a source for these flybacks if it is bad. Is the set worth
fixing? Any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance! JOhn Ross

What is the model number?

If the arcing is around the LOPT them you will have to have it replaced and
other items inspected. If the arcing is in the CRT or at the neck board than
you may have a defective CRT. Have the set checked out. BTW it is highly
probable parts may be NLA.
