No, can't say that I smell anything. Just hear the hiss and see the blue glow inside of the rectifier, and of course the resultant interference on the screen. I only mention the blue glow inside of the rectifier because I expected to see something when I turned out the lights, but that is all that I saw.
Perhaps it just wasn't in a viewable area. I have had a number of sets through the years to have sharp solder joints or whatnot causing arching, not a hiss, but actual arching. Seems like a long time ago I had an old color set like this that was doing this and it was just moisture around the H.V. lead to the C.R.T. Perhaps I should check that just to be sure. They are in close proximity, so maybe I mistook the sound's origin.
