TV Picture Tube

Hello:

We have a Sony Trinitron, <the big clunker> 32 inch. Recently, the picture goes black, sound is still perfect & if you shut the TV off & back on, the picture comes back <not all that fast but eventually>. We seem to think it's about 10 yr.'s old.

Does anyone have a clue???

Thank you....jeff

Option A: Pay a service tech ~$300 to troublshoot and repair the systems from the horizontal output to the flyback transformer and it's output to the second anode of your picture tube (more than the TV is worth)

Option B: Get a new 32" for about $300

Option C: Get a new 36" LCD for $800

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I pick... "C"

The LCD will last longer than plasma and use lots less energy than the old "Picture-tube" types.
