- Sounds like the problem is a temperature-dependent loose connection
- (maybe inside a component). You could try shooting freezing spray
- (available from Radio Shack) onto various parts of the TV to see if
- the problem appears or disappears suddenly when you hit a particular
- component. (Don't spray it onto the glass of the CRT!) You could
- also try warming up various areas and then individual components with
- a hair dryer.
