I turn on my test cabinet this morning to test a pcb and I hear crackling and then see a flame shooting out of the yoke. I guess its obvious that the yoke is boned. But what caused this?

I've had this cab since probably 1998. I've never had to work on the monitor and the cab is in a climate controlled home so humidity shouldn't be an issue.

So:

1. Any ideas as to what caused it?
2. Besides a new yoke, what do I need to do for this to not repeat.
 
Curious.....is this the 19" K7600?......or the much newer (and very different) 39" K7600?
