Broken projection TV - any uses?

<< < (3/3)

ChadTower:

BTW, flickering doesn't sound like failure of the gun.  It's failure of the driver.  Much easier to fix.  Failure of the gun is fading of the color that you can only fix by turning it way up.

Guaranos:
It wasn't the driver, unfortunately.  It was the gun itself, and would have been $300 or so to fix.  Instead I picked up an LCD TV, same size, for $750 shipped.  As a bonus, the LCD has a digital tuner, so I get lots of digital and HD channels now that I didn't before.

I had already repaired this TV a couple of times before, including replacing the convergence board, so it wasn't worth keeping around.
