I have what appears to be a thermo intermittent problem in my old TV. I'd
like to buy an aerosol can of freeze spray online to help track down the
problem. I'm looking for recommendations on a brand and a vendor. No body
carries this item locally. Thanks.

Plumbing suppliers also stock it, for freezing-up pipes, that you cannot
fully turn off the water supply. The nozzle delivery may need to be adapted
down a bit for electronic repair use.

I used crushed ice and salt for this purpose, last time, but time to reach
freeze-up was not relevant in my case.

I've bought it from MCM.

You can also use a can of air duster held upside down, office supply stores,
Costco, and probably many other places carry that. It's the same stuff but
without a straw inside to draw liquid.

In a pinch you can use a "canned air" duster for this. Just invert the
can (do not shake) and spray. With some brands you may have to super
glue the spray tube in the head to keep it from popping out.

I bought several cans when my local RS went out of business, real cheap.
I also buy from MCM.
