This sounds like bad power supply components, due to age.
A common problem.
Aging of such things requires a good overhaul regardless of how well the set is treated.
Discontinue use immediately, and locate a local service tech familier with older Magnavox products.
Failure to other components, some expensive, will result from continued use in that condition.
The Internet is a marvelous thing, however it's not a good substitute for actually being there.
