So my TV decided to show a lot of red and green tonight after the game, as well as warp the bottom of the screen. Its a 51" Magnavox TV. Like to have fixed by someone who wouldn’t rape me on charges. Any suggestions? ---

I’d take it to Lifetime Service, and see what they think the dammage is… If it’s a board… maybe replace it… if it’s a Picture tube… throw it out and buy a new one it’ll be cheaper. IT seems like you are starting to loose your picture tube, buuuut… the controll board may have something to do with it. ---

is it a crt or projection? The projection tv’s have three guns, its really simple to replace them. ---

I think Sally Struthers fixes TV’s. She was offering TV/VCR repair classes last time i remember. Have you tried calling _her_? ---

> [@JustinH](#): > > is it a crt or projection? > > The projection tv’s have three guns, its really simple to replace them. Yes it is a projection TV. How easy would it be to diagnose if one of the guns is bad? Is that the same as a Picture Tube? ---

just take the back off it, and see if one of the guns isn’t coming on. The guns are like projector lights, you can’t miss them. ---

The guns might be easy to replace, but they sure aren’t cheap. About a year after I got my 51" HD Sony there was a recall on the guns and they replaced all three. They subbed the work out to authorized installers in the area and did in home service. The guy was cool so I asked him how much we were talking in parts had this not been a warranty issue. $900 in parts ALONE just for the 3 color guns. ---

My 60" was garbage picked, I then had a mirror cut @ the glass joint on bailey, and I have a perfectly functioning fucking huge TV for $65. I wasn’t sure if garbage picking it was a waste of time… and then money after I spent the $65, but it ended up working perfectly. Getting used lamps should be easy.
