OK, I have a monitor that when I turn it on shoots a great light show inside the neck. After I unplug the neck board and power it up, sparks start to shoot from the bottom of the tube. Any idea?
 
Most likely tube has a small crack somewhere and the vacum seal is long gone..

Start looking for a donor tube.

the only thing you could really check is to make sure the anode is in securely and make sure the crt ground is hooked up.

You were right on the money on that one. Pulled it out and found a hair line crack running across the tube. Well, guess this will be my first swap......
