The part of the circuit that provides power to the tube has some how gone faulty (probably).

What's probably happening is: The amount of power needed for the gun does down when it goes to black, then when it comes up the pull is more than it can manage and it loses power.

Best guess? The big caps in the power supply have gone south.

It can probably be fixed.
