	Ours just did the same thing.  The connector to the crt yoke had so
	overheated that a cracked 'cold' solder joint had formed.  By re-
	soldering the pin (at the circuit board), the mac was resurrected.
	I don't know why the yoke is pulling so much current or why the
	connector was so under spec'ed, but the connector continues to
	run very hot and has turned brown and we run a fan on top of the mac
	to postpone the inevitable from reoccurring.
