Well, after all the mess i think i figured out the issue. I decided to try turning it on just one more time, and this time got the garbled monitor, then slowly it began to come back. Shortly thereafter the hiss started to dissipate. I smelled the air vents for any hint of burning electronics, and instead got an odor of burning dust. I think there may have been some dust on the CRT tubes or something that once burned off was no longer affecting the screen. The thing seems to be working fine now.
