Have an RCA 20F511T television that continuously loses power to the CRT. It is almost like a capacitor charges and discharges causing the screen to go from full picture to a single line, back to the picture and then to the single line again. It is cyclic and gets worse as the set warms up Thanks Tom

I tried your advice. With no input signal TV comes on and stays on (tried for 5 minutes). However when ever I change channels, the tv actually goes off and then comes back on. I remember now that is how the problem started. Thanks I tried your advice. With no input signal TV comes on and stays on (tried for 5 minutes).

When I change the channels, sometimes it takes a short time for the channel to change, but most of the time, I can hear the crt discharging, the screen projects a series of snow, vertical and horizontal lines, then the channel comes in.
