Well now that would totally be up to you, as the set does have some age and time on it, and the tuner part# 859850130 at www.partstore.com at a cost of 43.03 + shipping is still available.. That tuner is not hard to change out and should take off after replacement without any alighnment or adjustment if its done properly. BUT If your not a electronic tech of some sort then you really shouldnt be inside of any tv set as there are no user serviceable parts inside. maybe you have a friend who knows a bit about tvs or can solder and unsloder???BTW a job like thios should cost over 200 bucks if done by a pro. Good Luck
