When the tube gets air in it, you typically see alot of arcing in the
neck.

Did the sound it made seem like "water boiling in a garbage can"? I'm afraid
it seems like you might have a hairline fracture in the tube - look VERY
closely around the neck. I have to agree with Kurt and Noel, sounds like you
might have "let the vacum out..."
Also, was the machine very cold when you powered it up? This (as well as
moving) can cause the tube to crack.
