Exactly Andy,
I had a young tech that I hired on and he was full of attitude! Pretty soon he started hating almost every brand and giving them the "B.E.R."(beyond economical repair)tag.
One day I went through two of the sets that he said were "BER" and found bad solder on one and a bad cap in the scan supply on the other! Needless to say I had a talk with him the next day..
That kind of stupidity can make a shop that strictly services electronics go out of business fast, not to mention it is unfair to the customer who is most likely trying to save money by repairing their old set.
Granted, If the tv was on it's last legs with a weak crt and assorted problems I would never try to nurse it along just for a buck.
In my shop we not only repaired them we also replaced any common problem parts, cleaned them inside and out and replaced any missing doors, etc. So they were more remanufactured than repaired and this worked very well along with the 90 day warranty I gave.
