No picture distored sound.

I'm with Steve on this. I don't have the expertise yet to get too deep into repair. I can tell it's not coming from the high voltage cage. It's clearly coming from something electrical below the picture tube. Unfortunately the picture tube itself blocked my direct view so I couldn't get a good look. Since I didn't want to do further damage to parts made of "unobtainium," I quickly shut it off without looking around to see exactly what was arcing.

Thanks to everyone for their helpful suggestions. Looks like the suggestion it not being a tube was right. I'm going to have a shop to look at it and tell me what's arcing and if it's something they can fix.
