Default TV turns itself off & on ..

Hi all ;
My old fat-screen CRT 32 inch RCA has taken on a mind of its own -
- it has started to turn itself OFF & ON after working for 20
minutes or so. I took the batteries out of the remote to see if it
was causing the trouble - it made no difference.
Any ideas ?
I like to keep stuff from the re-cycle / garbage bin, if I can.

You probably have some electrolytic caps that have gone south
in the power supply and/or decoupling for one of the CPU's inside.
So, the "power" that the devices (e.g., CPU) see is flakey.

It's probably repairable but probably not worth the money
it would cost you (unless you are comfortable doing those sorts
of repairs yourself)
