weird noises, and screen flickering out tho those are the same basic symptoms of flyback to control (analog board in some machines) more detail please

What are some of the signs of a flyback transformer that is bad or going bad?

The idiot being me, of course I have a 2100 sitting around, and the battery is just about toast. I'd like to get my hands on the AA battery tray, but Newton bits & pie…
