The last time I replaced a tube in a tube color TV it was $53.00.
With 21 inch solid state color TVs falling under $400.00 at the time I really couldn't justify buying tubes any more.
That does sound like a power supply failing a self-test. But the fail could be a board, too.
Caps or anything obvious ( caps aren't always visibly shot) , unplug boards, although no load can induce a fail, too.
