I just remembered when I was a kid(Im on my 30’s now) we had this old “box style” television. As it got older, there were times that a white thing will appear on the screen. You can still watch the show but its annoying. Imagine watching your TV while having a white curtain in front of it. One day, I got extremely furious because I was watching Smackdown and slap the side of the TV. Then, it returned to normal. I kept doing the same solution I discovered every time the white thing appears on screen until one day it stopped functioning. 😂

Probably mechanical defects in the set. Most likely cold solder joints or a connector that had a bad connection over time. In rare cases, the old tube tv sockets got loose, and the “thwack” remade the electrical connection.
Older Sony tv circuit boards were famous for having cold solder joints from the factory. I used to reheat every solder joint, especially the larger connectors and components, and 80% of the time, that fixed the problem.
