Before you do anything, unsolder the HOT and check it for shorts. The HOT is the big black transistor that's mounted to a heatsink behind the flyback. You should be able to get the parts from www.tritronicsinc.com.
That's why I stated to check the power supply diode for the 135V B+ line... the set is whining most likely because it's now shorted. It's in shutdown...I've replaced hundreds of them already... trust me, I know.
