Hi,
Many, many dry joints on the power (6), control (46) and mother (60) boards.
5D15 and 5C47 on the line and field deflection unit, supplies CRT A1 circuitry with 750V from line flyback. Occasionally 5T11 can fail, but design was improved on later production PCB. 5TR3 (BU208) metal case corrodes which then punctures insulating mica washer causing flash over. More often faults are the result of liquid contamination due to spillage from over zealous watering of a potted plant. Also occasionally from a leaky cat.
When shut down occurs, does the power control circuit try to cycle about six times before locking out? You should hear the power transformer tick on each try. There are over/under voltage and over current safety trips on this set. For instance, Pin 6 of 46IC1 deals with over current protection and has to go above 0.7V to invoke trip.

Is that capacitor 6C7? If so should have 295V across it measured directly on both tags.
Check carefully when using an apparently similar transformer as a substitute as sometimes the B&O pin out can vary.
