The doorknob capacitor may also be the culprit. Discharge the set safely, and, remove the cap. It plugs in. Be sure of direction. If arcing stops, you've found your culprit. Before you determine that is definately bad, make sure you have all dirt cleaned off. That will also arc.The replacement cap should be rated at 500 pf 20KV.
