Also we have Sony warranty so we got to change all those optic blocks they had trouble with.Pretty easy once you did a few and they paid good. All that is gone now as Sony repairs have expired on them. They're just offering customers a discount on a new unit as compensation if they complain about the issue on their Grand Wega. Also Samsung has the capacitor recall and DLP chip recall.

I've got one of the Sonys that's not covered by any of the warranty or class action lawsuits. Bad Optical block - 1250 bucks new or over 600 for a reconditioned one that won't last more than a year. Sony settled all but one lawsuit, and my model (KDG-E42A10) and a few others were never covered. I got it as a gift, so no skin off my back. I replaced it with a new Samsung LCD that I'm quite happy with.

The work is getting pretty thin these days.

The fellow up the road stays busy with the newer stuff, mostly inverter boards, caps, and some projo stuff. He says he's barely getting by....

Cheers,
