Tv sparking/cracking noises, won’t turn on

Brought a CRT VCR combi online to play some old Wii games, but the screen wont turn on. I’ve tried loading tapes into it, all I get is a repeated cracking/sparking noise. really defeating, you can see the sparks through the side grill of the TV. I’ve attached some pictures to give context best I could

If anyone could give some info on whether it’s a bust, or I have some hope, I’d really appreciate it. cheers people ✌️
