A few days ago I was watching something and heard some crackle/sizzle
from inside the tv, two or three times. Then the picture started to
get some horizontal jitter. I unplugged it and tried a few hours
later, no picture even, and the power relay clicks sulkily to itself
every so often when I turn it on. The tube does not activate at all
anymore.

Since the repair cost is hardly worth it vs. what I paid for the silly
thing...I was wondering if there is anything interesting I can/should
do with it? I was thinking some sort of abstract artwork (I am competent
enough to poke around with the hardware, as long as it doesn't mean
actually fixing it...)
