From the age of the set, there are some components that have become thermo
sensitive. With proper troubleshooting an experienced TV tech should be able
to locate these parts, and replace them. The cost should not be too much.
The main cost would be the labour.

Take the set for an estimate to find out what they would charge to do the
work. This is something an end user would not be able to do himself.

This ProScan PS27123 is a great television, it worked great for years,
resolution and image quality are exceptional.

Unfortunately after 9 years of loyal service, it started acting up.

When I switch the set ON it starts normally, but after 15 to 20
minutes the CRT goes black but sound still works. If I switch it OFF
and wait +/- 1 hr, I can re-open it and it will do it again.

Any guidance to what I should look into will be greatly appreciated.
I want to keep this TV, but dont want to loose my shirt getting it to
a sefvice center.

Thanks to all,
