Today I turned on my CRT television and I got a series of about 3 or 4 clicks followed by a few pops. I could smell some electrical smoke coming from the CRT and knew that something bad had happened. I took it apart and turned it on and saw a spark coming from this piece.





This CRT is moderately old and has quite a buildup of dust in it.

Any ideas on how I can fix this or if I can? Thanks for the help.
