Subject pretty well describes the problem. When I turn the
set on, I
get the degauss sound then sound from the selected
channel. It takes
10 to 20 minutes before the picture will come on. For a
long time, I
just left the set on 24/7. What components could be
responsible here?
I have schematics, soldering iron and have repaired this
TV a few
times in the past. Would like to revive it one more time.
Your help is
appreciated!!!

Thanks!

The CRT is failing. The AKB circuit blanks the screen if the
emission is below a certain point. You may be able to get a
little more life out of it by increasing the G2 voltage a
bit.
