Panasonic CT-36SF35W no picture

First post... We have a Panasonic CT-36SF35W purchased in 1998. Was working great up until a week ago. It's got great PQ for a CRT almost 12 y/o. Then all of a sudden upon power up the picture was scrambled flickering on and off with it sometimes ending in a permanent black screen. All the time audio is fine. Sometimes the picture comes in and stays there but other times it just flickers for a while and then goes black. I have unplugged and left off and that does not seem to change the ratio of power up to getting to picture to stay on. Sometimes the picture comes up perfect w/o having to do multiple iterations of power off/on. The flickering is horizontal in nature and the data that is flickering seems to be lines from the program. They are located in the center part and about 12-18" in height but vary as the set tries to bring up the picture. It also seems to be getting progressively worse as it use to take 5 power off/on iterations and now it’s more like 10 or more. Sometimes it never comes on. With the cost of new LCD/Plasma's not sure if it's worth getting a tech out here to survey this. So just looking for some sage advice about what else can be tried. Thanks!
