No...no...no... CRT capacitance in a TV can retain a dangerous or at least painful charge for days or longer!)

Peace bd

the charge tries to spark the TV up and gets used

The tube is packing up, get a new tv.

It is possible to be a dry joint but very unlikely, it's most likely the tube itself is colapsing. I give it 2 months max.

Sorry.
