If I leave my Space Duel running for around 20 minutes, it will start giving off a single loud SNAP every 5-6 minutes, like static is building up somewhere and sparking off to a ground, but I cannot find where it is coming from. Any ideas?

Bound to be arcing from the ultor cap at the tube and probably caused by a buildup of dirt and crap around the cap.

Switch off and discharge the tube - clean all the dirt and gunk from around the cap with a rag and alcohol. While you are at it clean the entire cable and also around the FBT where the cable goes into it.

Leave it for 10 minutes for the alcohol to evaporate - turn on and play a game!
