Looking for help with Color Classic analog board

My favorite Macintosh toy needs a recap at least.

It works fine, but it has the CRT scream of death that gives me a headache within 3 seconds of it being on.

Caps on the logic board have leaked a bit, but not bad(it's a CC2/LC550 board)

On the analog board it appears the big short fat cap in the middle has leaked like a MoFo. Could that be the cause of the noise or is the scream the transformer's death scream?

I'm still building my skills on a disaster zone of an SE/30 and do not trust my soldering skills on my favorite toy. 

So can any of you wizards help me with this and what kind of cost would I be looking at?

 
thanks sean,  

I think the squeal is from the flyback transformer,  they can go bad can cause a terrible high frequency squeal/noise.

would your machine happen to be a 240 volt machine?

That's the board, right down to the discoloration around the short fat cap next to the blue thingys.

Just came across that pic and a thread with it this morning...
