For a few bucks you almost cant loose.
These sets were known for bad micro IC's. They were
mounted right under the CRT & static would damage them.
New micros came as a kit with a shield. Funny thing is
the PCB was made for a shield but the bean counters
seemed to leave them out.
If you want to be sure have them leave it on for half a day.
Come back & be sure ALL the functions work. Also watch the
OSD. It would with strange characters like pac man or jap
symbols
