Hi Phil.

The filament winding looks to be in pretty good condition, I don't think I'd risk damaging the flyback by trying to replace it at this point.

HV arcing is usually of the faint hissing type rather than a sharp crack, unless perhaps it came from a source where the HV might accumulate like maybe the doorknob cap or a poor ground on the CRT.

B+ seems more likely to me if it was a sharp noise, perhaps a bit of solder lodged somewhere under the chassis? I know I always have tons of stray solder bits when I'm done recapping.
