My 3 year old pulled the tv down it landed on the screen (and the poor kid she's okay.) all loose wires I re-soldered and it works again. The color is a little distorted and buzzing. I think I've pin pointed the leak (or crack) in the edge of the tube. Can I seal this, or what would be the best way? Don't say bring it to a repair shop. I'm cheap.

As mentioned it a Vacuum Tube. This means air is removed to keep the wires inside from burning up (Just like a light bulb). If, the tube was cracked and did not implode the wires inside would have burned up in the presence of air and it stop working. For what it cost to repair, you may just need a new TV. It probably did loosen something inside. You can look and not touch when it is on and see if there any Arching of Electricity. But, be careful, the High Voltage is High Voltage. It will knock you for a loop.

Remember its a vacume inside there, it would have imploded if it was a crack/leak.
The shadow mask is prolly detached inside a bit.
