we were told it needs a vertical hold part - the top 3-4 in of the screen have horizontal lines and roll ? We purchased in 1990 and have bought a new tv and want to give this one away to a friend but may cost too much to fix. Someone said the verticle hold switch or button or whatever is too close to some other button and it over heats - they said this was common.
bought in 1992, chassis no.9155. bottom 5'' of screen is black, is it worth
fixing ? What is the part no. and can a layman do it ? If a technican
repairs it, about how much ? Should I put in the garbage ?
My experiance is to not put money into a TV that is over ten years
old. TVs stress out their electronic components worse than almost
any other electronic product. After 10 years, there are so many
parts that are ready to fail that your are probably wasting your money
trying to get any more life out of it.
