Actually don't always assume the 5 Blink failure means Crt emission problems. That Sony TV shows 5 blinks because that's what the TV picked up on.......... You could have missing 200V, no heater, no screen voltage, etc causing a 5 blink code. The key is the shutdown.......these TVs don't shutdown if the CRT displays a 5 blink failure.....they normally stay on. Forget the 5 blink......troubleshoot it as though that Immediate Shutdown is the ONLY symptom you have! Check B+ supply, check Horiz output, and don't forget......THE HV circuit is a separate circuit not associated with the Horiz Sweep circuit. At least I think it is.........
