Sony KV-27V26 - Lost video. Dusted & works. Outlook?

Sony KV-27V26, built in Oct '97. The video suddenly went out.
I would turn it on and it would be fine for 10-60 seconds, then the picture would compress into a 1' horizontal picture for 5-10 seconds and then it would go blank until the next time I'd turn it on. If I'd turn it off & right back on, it'd just go right to a blank screen. Audio is always okay.
I don't do TV repair, but did read up on it & Sony's common blanking problem (esp for time when mine was built.)
I opened it up to try to adjust the voltage & see if I can "buy some time." Very dusty. I blew it out with a can of compressed air. Turned the TV on and it worked fine! It's been on for about an hour and is okay. Never had to touch the voltage adjuster.
Anyone have any idea how long I can expect this TV to work? Was the excessive dust allowing it to short somewhere? Any possible damage caused or things that might give me trouble in the future? Anything preventative I should do?
Thanks!
