TV crapped out on me, repair shop?

[Bailey Guns]

Yeah...depending on the type of TV it might not be worth it to repair. I spent about $200 to fix a really nice Sony several years ago. Then something else broke on it.

Upgraded to flat panel and now it doesn't take 3 guys to move the TV.

HA! I know that sony you speak of.. it was their first XBR I think... largest CRT they made? Weighed something like 350lbs? I think they had a 42" and a 50"?

We have the Sony 36" wide CRT and it weighs 320. Great picture just dread moving it if it dies.

Since I am old (not as old as Blaster) and do not watch much TV I am in no hurry to replace it.

i'm almost ashamed to admit this story but here goes, last year I was cleaning my 1006 smith and the recoil spring rod shot out and hit my 1 month old 55" led and shattered the screen they wanted over a thousand bucks to fix it, with no guarantee how long before they could get the parts. I only paid $1400 for the whole tv, so needless to say I went and bought a new tv, and put the broken one in storage for parts like the tv shop reccomended, now I have everything but a screen if my new tv takes a dump.

Just make sure you take care to not blow a recoil spring through the new one since that's the one part you don't have.

50 inch was just zapped by lightning.

came in through the satellite lines.

It's usually not worth repairing TV's anymore. My old one died around Thanksgiving and the part I needed was around $350 so I got a new flat screen for $300. JMHO
