desertcat:
 My mame/nesticle cabinent is dead after 3 years of unending fun (RIP).  Well actually the TV i put in it is dead, something shrted out now it wont turn on...  Does anybody know what i could do to fix it? I dont know anything about TVs do they have fuses or does shorting it just fry the whole thing?  Will I have to replace it that would be such a pain, i had to build custom mounts for the tube, idoubt their universal... This really sucks..  Thanks for any advice.

paigeoliver:
Actually another tv with the same size tube will mount up EXACTLY.

I generally don't bother trying to repair TVs that won't turn on, although you might want to at least check and see if it has an onboard fuse, and check the condition of it.

Also, box up the tube and save it for later use with an 8-liners chassis.
shawnzilla:
I must agree. It would be best to find the exact same tv and use it. Surely someone on Ebay or some online vendor would have it. TV repair is just too expensive to be worth the $$.
paigeoliver:
Oh, he won't need the exact same model, just another set with the same size tube. It will have the mounting eyes in the same place.

Grauwulf:
Well I would just skip the middle part about replacing the TV and saving the tube for an 8-liners chassis. Why not just get the 8-liners chassis now?
