Follow the power cord (set unplugged) into the set as it goes directly to the main fuse (should be 6.3 amp) and see if it is good or bad.

If the picture is playing fine and you notice that the background is getting more and more red, until it is too red and the set shuts down, it could be that the red screen control is set just a bit too high. If this is the case, you can probably correct this yourself. If you are watching a perfect picture and then it suddenly flashes a very bright red, with thin red lines in the pictureand then shuts down, it usually means that the red picture tube has developed a short in it, between the cathode and heater. A good tech might be able to remove the short by arcing, but if the short persists then the red tube will have to be replaced. Either way, this is something that should only be done by a qualified tech.

6 blinks is usually associated with failure of the horizontal
deflection amplifier - which shuts down the high voltage system as well.
The repair requires testing to determine the exact parts that have
failed. There are, for example, a few hundred parts and a section of
the Jungle IC chip involved. So, repairs could require something as
simple as replacing some inexpensive passive components OR as
complicated as replacing the jungle chip (very expensive).
most of the time it's the horz. transformer and transistor.

The jitter is called a vertical sync problem. The problem is on the "A" board. It can be replaced or rebuilt but will be quite expensive to service.
