Magnasonic Crack! Can't Post
Was watching my TV that I found 4 years ago outside a dumpster and at that time I fixed the degaussing coil (open) and has been a great free tv for many years.
Today I was watching it and heard a SNAP! like static but a bit louder and the whole screen is now gray horizontal flickering lines spaced about 1 inch apart horazontally across the entire screen and top to bottom with a slight flicker. I can still see the channel numbers faintly (green) and a very faint signal.. but any ideas as to localizing the trouble or what happened. Where to start? i am a bit of a TV newbie but build and repair tube amps alot.
Magnasonic Model MCT5524

Any help appreciated.

I have no idea what a Magnasonic TV is. given your symptom I'd say one of the following has occured.

CRT driver IC blew.
Flyback transformer popped.
CRT itself just went out.
220volt, B+ drive resistor popped which feeds the CRT drive IC
