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.

Which country do you live in?
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.

Did you try Radio Shack? "You've got questions, we've got C-students in ties." They won't know what the hell you're talking about, but look around yourself and you'll likely find it.

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.
I 2nd that, works great!

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.

I have THREE Radio Shacks within a 7 mile radius. One is close enough to bicycle to in less than 5 minutes,against a headwind. ;-)
