Default 27" Magnavox blacks out, also auto channel select fails.

I want to thank both of you, Jerry and James for your replies.

I was hoping for a few more players to chime in, but I guess either this is
the same old story (problem) or maybe others have the same opinion, or don't
care to post.

My sister has the same set, and it's still going strong. My set still has a
good picture, until it blacks out, LOL!

I just hate the fact that it was working well, until I moved it and left it
unplug. This leads me to think that it's something physical
(cracked/loose). I've blown off the dust with an airgun and inspected every
solder point I could see, nothing obvious, I also pushed all the conectors
on tight.

I called one local shop and they said $35 to look at it, and if I decide to
fix it that goes toward the repair. I'm going to call another tomorrow. I
would not mind investing $50-75 but not much more, I've already replaced the
set. I'll let you know what was wrong with it....if I get it repaired.

Cheers,
Jim
