Hi, I have a 5260 that is having some issues. I have done a full recap and the logic board works fine (I tested it in a 6500). It turns on (most of the time) but there are some click sounds and a loud sound from the CRT startup. I have a video to see. Is this the flyback going? Does anyone know if I can get a replacement somehow?

From startup, that sounds OK - slight crackle as the CRT turns on and then the "donk" being the degauss function.
A failing flyback would be more evident over using it for a while. If you hear the CRT snap and crackle under normal use (or it might turn off for a moment), have a look at the flyback in a dark room and see if there is any arcing from the unit.
