As Studio263 has suggested, this is not going to be a cheap repair and was always difficult for the experienced Sony repair guy. Great when they are working and very reliable but nasty when they go pop.
The tube may well be weak but of course you may have a good one. Better to find a working example and keep your present one for cosmetic bits as nothing much else fails other than the bits that have!

At least it was only £30 and it's worth that if the tube is good. John.
