The normal failure mode of a flyback is smoke pouring out from it, and maybe the horz output tube red plating. Never heard of a bad one causing a cabinet to rattle nor do I understand the ref to turning it off just in time to save the picture tube. I don't see how a bad flyback could put a picture tube in harms way.
