The horizontal output tube is connected to the capacitor-thing inside, as well as the large tube in the center. The picture tube as well as the capacitor-thing are in a metal cage-box (power supply box -- as I was calling it). Can someone give me some insight on this? This is the box that appeared to be smoking. I'd also like to add that the picture on the screen was blinking while the set was smoking. Is this a whole different problem? Thanks!
Also, If you guys want pictures, I can figure something out.
