This set started fading blue, coming back, fading coming back, then straightening up. Highly intermittant. When it does this I turn tv off then back on, and the picture is right again for a couple minutes, then starts to flicker again. Any Ideas?
I'm afraid I don't have good news. This is known as the "Flicker Issue." As a Sony authorized servicer, the shop I worked for was directed to replace all three of the CRT's in the limited number of sets that experienced this issue. The cost per tube is typically around $200. If you decide to take this on, it is best to replace one CRT at a time, power up the set and do the yoke adjustments and electrical alignments to get the new color to line up with the existing ones.

Screen will begin turning blue, then go black and standby timer light blinks 8x in sequence. I can repower and screen will come back on temporarily. Tv may work for days then suddenly start doing again. Totally random!
