Picked this tv up today for only $1. Its from a hospital and there is no sound. What can i do?

Perhaps it was wired for a pillow speaker? Open it up and see if it has a speaker inside and if it's been bypassed.

The E-prom will kill the sound on these. Dont remember
any other audio problems.

Does the rest of the set seem to work well?
If so, maybe the on-board tuner issue has been repaired. If the E-prom has been corrupted, they used to supply replacement chips, programed with average settings. Probably NLA.
You might have to get into the service menu and check the audio settings.
