You should see the vertical dynamic convergence x-former out of a CT-100, thousands of volts on those it's no wonder they all fail eventually. Jeff the gentleman I bought my set from had a whole series of pictures burned onto CD-ROM of him taking the thing apart, and one where it clearly arced through from primary to secondary. I really should upload them.
