Problem with older 31" Mits CRT

Sadly, our 1996 vintage Mitsubishi 31” TV has been showing its age of late. When you turn it on, the picture collapses to a thin white horizontal line across the middle of the screen. When the picture finally kicks in a couple of hours later, it has horizontal lines on the screen that are progressively larger and more numerous towards the bottom of the screen. I’m sure it’s just a minor repair – the picture tube is still nice and bright. Any ideas? Is it something I could do? About the only relevant tools I have are a Greenlee VOM and a soldering iron.

Regards,
Wayne

Somewhere something has changed. Almost certainly a damaged or open connection.

Hmm. Well, I'm pretty sure I haven't damaged any connections (at least not the kind with a cable and plug attached. :D). The one I mentioned before that I forgot to plug in, I determined was for the two speakers.

Guess it's going out to the curb... :(

Regards,
Wayne

Look for open resistors or bad solder joints on that CRT board.
