Dang. After playing for a while, I heard arcing and the picture went nuts. I quickly powered down, then tried again in a few minutes with room dark and the HV cage open. After the set warmed up fully, I saw a two-inch spark shoot from the side of the flyback to the cage body.

There is freshly melted wax below the flyback.

Is it worth trying to recoat it with RTV, or should I assume it's shorted and look for a replacement?
