Well, my initial reason for taking it apart was to replace those caps.
It's still a possibility if the other things mentioned by Michael
(Mahon) don't work.

Speaking of which, What do those things look like? (Ferrite core,
flyback transformer and yoke) I'm seriously a beginner in all this
stuff. What would I need to tighten and how would I do it? What would
I apply the lacquer to?

Most of my experience is on paper with digital components, rather than
opening old stuff and fixing it.
