I have an original (13 inch) Apple monitor, which is used with an old
Mac IIci. Over the last few days, after the monitor has been on for a
few minutes, it cuts off its power and goes black. If you leave it for a
few minutes, it can be repowered, but only works for a few seconds. My
guess is that this is temperature related, but I would welcome some
expert opinions!!

Is this the end for my monitor?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sounds like it's the power & scan board (rather than the logic
parts), so your local TV repair man might be able to fix it.

I had a similar problem with a Hitachi 20 inch monitor. The problem was
with some capacitors on the power board. The local TV shop fixed it, but
the problem came back after about six months, and the monitor was then
junked. With the high cost of labour, unless you want to do the repair
yourself, I think it's best to buy a new monitor.
