Hi,
These are classic symptoms of power supply failure.  The display 
going bonkers, then coming back is a strong indicator of this 
problem.  Whenever you start to have these types of failures in a 
piece of vintage gear, the power supply should be on the top of your 
check list.  I hope this helps.
Bill
