Question

Help answer this question below.

I have a 32" RCA tube television that is about 12 years old. Recently, the picture image seems to be covered by a 'grey shield' with white horizontal lines running through the image? Ideas? Worth fixing?

    Replace the SCR101 regulator transistor...located on the right side of the chassis, and installed in its own vertical "U" shaped bracket. Two screws, three leads, and a little mounting paste. Chassis slides out of the tv, so its really easy to get to. This must be a Colortrak television...exceptional picture, even by today's standards. Yes, it would cost you a couple of hundred dollars to have someone do this for you, but most of that is paying them to lift their oversized ass out of a chair and put down the bowl of potato chips. Actual cost...about 3 bucks.

    A 32" TV tube is not worth fixing. You are looking at around $200 to repair it minimum as most repair places charge 80-125 for the first hour of work. Just replace it.
