You're not likely to find a TV shop that will work on this unless you can find an older TV shop that is hungry and does not have a huge workload. Most shops won't touch anything over 10 years old and many won't touch any CRT set. I recently fixed a solid state RCA console stereo for a guy who had been trying to have it fixed for 15 years. All he got from any of the shops was "it's too old, throw it out" or "we can't get parts". It needed a complete electrolytic recap and I had no problem getting the caps. It's just that when a shop is quick to say that they can't get parts, that means they don't want to work on it. On one side of the coin, I can see where they're coming from. Given the high volume of work they do, they don't want to be tied to something that could take a long time to fix properly and they don't want to become married to an old piece of equipment that the owner keeps bringing back every time it develops a new problem, expecting a free repair. From my point of view, I think that if the customer wants it fixed and is willing to pay for it; then, I should do what I can to help them.
