Mother in law has a Sony KV-10FMR20, a little 10" (?) CRT set with an

The video will fade out after awhile (the screen is blank like the
set's off). Sound still works, and the video sometimes fades back in.

Always works when I turn it on. Before I get out the hair dryer, does
anyone recognize a well known problem ?

crt heater connections, look at:

a thousand thanks you guys. i can handle the soldering.

nasa wouldn't hire me but I'll get the job done.

it's so old though, I hope it doesn't spring a leak in it's balloon

was looking around, and didn't see much to replace it with quality
wise. these were nice little sets for the kitchen as they had great
picture and sound quality for a little 10" crt.

Thanks again.
