I used to install rebuilt color tubes and they would often snap and pop for a while then settle down.
The reason I asked about the CRT connector is that I bought a Philco 19" set back in the 70's, it had a rebuilt tube but every so often it would let out a very loud SNAP, after about a month the CRT started getting soft and the grey scale went off, after two more replacement CRTS it was still popping now and then so I sold it to a TV repair guy.
He found the insulation around the Focus pin had gone bad and was arcing HV to the guns, this killed the tube very quickly because it was like being rejuvenated every night for a month. He fixed that an no more popping.
