Awesome present - I never get stuff like that!
Please don't turn it on again before doing some troubleshooting. You're likely to burn something out.

That high pitched squeal is probably from the horizontal / high voltage circuit around 15 kHz. Most likely some capacitors have gone bad and are causing problems.

I'm not sure of the model, but I'm sure someone else does.
