Panasonic model CT27G5B (man./Sept. 2000) lost picture

Bought tv for $30 one week ago.  Connected to Comcast cable box and enjoyed a superb picture until last night.  Fell asleep (a couple of hours) watching a program and woke up to see only a 1/4" thin multi-colored horizontal line across center of screen.  Turned it off for a few minutes and then back on and picture resumed for a few minutes , then reverted back to horizontal line again.  Sound is still fine.  I'm guessing picture tube on it's way out, unless anyone knows of fix.  Multi-colored horizontal line reminds me of serviceman's (switched) adjustment line feature of older sets I watched serviceman adjust, on my parents set, as a kid.  One can tell that there is a picture there that's been compressed...                               Any feedback welcomed!
