Default Sampo 34" CRT - Turns itself off every now + again...

Hi, quick question. I have on of these, Sampo SME-23DV3.

http://demo.silkera.net/sampo/show/monitor/monitor2.htm

It shuts off after an hour, so I need to just turn it back on. Then it turns off after 10 mins, so I turn it back on. Then 5 mins, etc, until it doesn't boot. I have just heard that the PCB "just needs to be resoldered, since it's an old monitor". Has anyone else heard of this? He said that a TV repairman fixed two of his big CRTs for $15 each.

Thanks,
D
