Make sure that the C.R.T. plug has not loosened and causing the tube's heater not to come on perhaps until the warmth of the other tubes or movement, shaking or something else completes the circuit. This is very common and normally easy to fix.

The "plug" is the plastic end of the C.R.T. with the pins sticking out. The socket is the hard wired piece that connects to it. Just see if it (the plug) feels loose, but be gentle. If it is loose and the set is powered on, then you can move it slightly and see the darkness turn to light when you hit the right spot.

If this is your problem then we can go into detail on possible solutions. Good luck!
