I had a parts Safari that had an open CRT heater, then I saw how it may have happened. I was watching my functional one when the scratching, popping static in both pix and sound it always had suddenly stopped. At the same time the screen started getting brighter. I jumped up and turned it off. Now that I have another parts set with a suspected good CRT, I will open the complete one and see if the heater opened in it, too. I couldn't scare up that 2EP4 to save my life, so I started looking into those 2-inchers on ePay. Trouble is, they're so cute I hate to cannibalize them! (that and their CRT's are rectangular)
