Not proper or elegant but often done by techs trying to make a living. |
Not too mention....Zentih with the "service saver" screen on bottom made that EASY to do--compared to most. ANY decent--fair-minded tech could have fixed that problem, in an HOUR Or so--maybe a bit more. Fact is...he sounded as if he did not WANT to fix the set.
"bad picture tube"was--and stiil IS ...ALWAYS a "cop out" used be "repairmen" to get out of fixing a set they did not want to fix. SO much so....that when I began in this hobby over 35 years ago...I was told that nearly EVERY old tv set had bad picture tubes and thus--were not worth messing with. The TRUTH--of course is much different....then--less than a THIRD of tv sets I ran into had bad CRT"s--and that has not changed much TODAY.
