I agree that they were better made, but all good things will come to an end
sometime! Just like my beloved '93 Buick roadmaster. It just becomes more
than it's worth to repair.

The old TV's, even with a new CRT have old caps and HV components to go bad
in the short run. Then the customer will be looking for a freeby. That's one
of the reasons why (other than NLA parts) that I shy away from the old stuff
.

What do you say after charging $350 and 2 months later the FBT fails only to
be NLA from ANYWHERE?
