The ME and LE range of tv's were fitted with a Philips chassis,so are somewhat different from the designed"in house" B&O models.

Very reliable from memory,and good performers too! Anyone with Philips tv expertise should be able to help if you don't have a B&O service agent locally

You have the classic fault symptom, but it can be caused by many different problems.

The TV has a safety circuit which in those days was called a "Crowbar" which shutdown the power supply. Many things can trigger this circuit and include the following:-

Power Supply over voltage on one of the lines.
To much current being drawn from the power Supply
Dirt in the EHT area causing insulation breakdown and sometimes flashover

The fact that it works for a short time after you have unplugged the TV tends to lead me to believe that a component is breaking down as it heats up. You will have to get a person experienced in these TV's to look at it so they can measure the voltages at the test points to discover the likely cause.
