	Another common problem that causes that squeal is dust on, in, and
around the flyback and the anode cable. Apparently the dust is attracted 
to any leakage, and this gives a convienient path for small arcing to 
form. I know I cleaned off the cables on my 1982 RCA, and it has been silent
for a long time now. By the way, before you clean it, make sure you aren't 
grounded, and that the set is unplugged. If possible, short out the anode 
cable to the chassis ground first. People do funny things when hit with
this kind of voltage ( I didn't, but I'm a Tech ).
