Thanks, Gary, for the reply. That was the first thing that I did. I've taken it apart as far as I could without messing with the CRT. I was hoping it was a battery issue, but I never did have a date-and-time issue; it worked perfectly one day, and the next day it did not.
I'm not a tech, but I'll lay odds it's the analog/video board.
