That is a CTC203 chassis that is VERY difficult to estimate without seeing it... The "squeal" symptom you described indicates that the HOT (horizontal output transistor) has shorted. (Q14401 RCA p/n#242224 (2sd2578)). But I would not stop there... Check also: Q14101 RCA p/n#244223, R14107 p/n#244214 (43 Ohm 1/4 Watt) and really go over the underside of the board for poor solder connections. Tri State Module can rebuild that board to like new for $100.00 dollars plus shipping. and even if a shop locally did the teardown and re-assembly that's a lot cheaper than the cost of a new TV of comaprable value. Hope this helps! Bill
