CRT Arcing - Next Steps

Without looking at the circuit diagram, I'm gonna bet that's one of those that's using the chassis as a heat sink and is clipped onto it with a little metal clip that always snaps off?

You know the one I thought "ah, if I bend it towards the metal, it'll be fine, the clip isn't that important, it's not gonna get that hot". That one?

There's a chance it's the deflection transformer on the little upright board by the lopt. I've got a load of those that are faulty. Best way to check is to just unplug it and plug the yoke directly into the chassis. It'll be fine to run it that way for a few seconds to just check it.
