I did this with VCR's. I have not used more than two parts in 6 years.
Consider this:
1. In TV's common parts fail.
2. Chassis are now made overseas so cheaply that parts in the same brand are
not common. The sets are becoming throwaways.
3. The time involved is tremendous
4. So now you are going to use one of your "money saving" parts. Is it any
good? Have you just introduced another problem?
I do feel that it is worth it to remove power supply, vert and hor parts that
can be tested before use.
