This set has been a nightmare. Came in first time for "dark picture and buzzes." Replaced 20-25 bad caps. Sent home. Two weeks later, back for "Takes a long time to come on." When power is pushed, power relay clicks, then pulses. By that I mean click..click..click. Starts out at about one second intervals. This interval decreases--the clicks comes faster. After 30 seconds or so, set stays on, picture perfect. After on for a few minutes, set turns off and on at will. Unit must be left off for some time for the problem to happen again. Feel like it must be a cap in the power supply, but can't find it. Have ESR'd all the caps on the deflection/power supply board, found two more bad, but no change. I have resoldered the board and cleaned it from old electrolyte leakage. Have no print. Maybe the standby to the power relay is low. Real tough set to work on. Hope someone has a clue.
