If i keep turning it on after turning it off it will eventually stay on for good until its turned off for a few hours.

Doing a bit of research, it seems like it is some protection circut that is triggering the television to turn off due to a bad connection.

Does anyone have an idea of exactly why this would be happening. Would it be an easy fix? The one thing i have always been nervous about working on is CRT televisions becasue if you do something worng you could send thousands of volts threw your body.

Here is a link to what the television looks like.

Could be a bad jungle IC caused by a shorted CRT. The last time it ran did it have a purple or green hue to all of the colors?

First post the model number & a good pix of the
chassis. This will give us much more to go on.

If the set runs normal for a while this does point to a
HV shut down (HVSD) problem often. Cold solder joints or a
bad electrolytic cap are most likely. You can usually
give the set a good slap while running normal & if
it goes dead its a cold PC con........

Not to worry about the HV. Most sets after the mid 70's
will bleed off in seconds. Even if it gets you its no big deal.
Used to be a weekly event in the olden days. The only
bad place is the AC where the cord comes in. So unplug !!!
