I have a magnavox 27ms343s (cant find chassis # sorry) that just shuts it self off after it "warms" up.

At first I thought it as an old Magnavox reel-to-reel player: you could at least state it's a 27" crt tv.
Chassis numbers is usually written on a label near connectors, in the rear side, or in the manual.
If it shuts down after a few minutes, some components may overheate or be already damaged by overheat: if I were you, I'd detach the tv from mains, open it and clean it from dust. I would look for unstable or cold solderings (the main transformer is a source of heat), burnt areas on pcb, broken components and so on. The manual should have some circuit diagrams you can look, but I'm not into schematics. I can't help more, perhaps somone else can.
Beware: capacitors can retain the charge for hours (don't touch them) and the high voltage cable form the main tansformer to the crt should be never removed.
