I aquired a 32" Sanyo set that the owner could smack with their hand and make it work.
It is a 2003 unit, and is now the largest CRT set I've ever owned.
All I found wrong was some bad soldering. Fixed that, and replaced several suspect capacitors that were discolored, but still working, and the set has worked fine for me almost 2 years. It's got a good sharp image with good color tracking.
The large SONY's used to about kill me trying to move their large-ness around on the bench.
I'll go to a flat screen kicking and screaming all the way. I'm sticking with technology that I can still repair!!
