Sony Trinitron XBR tv problems?

Asked by boettiger (123points) April 4th, 2009 from iPhone

I have a Sony Trinitron XBR 36” tv that is about 9 years old. Recently it has started to act up when we turn it on. For a period of about an hour after initial turn on the screen will go dark every 30 seconds or so. Really annoying. Is this a sign it needs a new tube and if so where can I get one and what might be the ballpark cost for tube replacement versus just buying a new tv?
