I was a TV technician here in the UK from 1967 until 1990, and I've always been fascinated by old American TVs I've seen in old films and TVprogrammes. Now thanks to you and others, I can now find out about the workings of some of them.

is it fixed yet???????

Gosh sakes buddy please be careful poking around in the back while it's hot... there is some high voltage going on, as I am sure you know... just saying be careful.

Felix, Well but things today are intentionally not made to last.
What uses to break down faster in LCDs? The logic board or the power supply unit? Or something else?
-
If you look at costumer reports they tend to break in a very short time. Ive been fixing many LCD screens that are less than 5 years old for people. A lot of the time these things arent even worth the repair either.
Plasmas are the same.
-
Felix, three only ? :\
I've seen lcds lasting way longer than that.
And plasmas will break within 20 years btw.

Dont start getting all upset at all the people who tried to tell you that you were only destroying your very own property.

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL OLD MOTOROLA TELEVISION, SORRY IF I MAY BE A BIT RASH BUT BLAME THE FUCKERS, ESPEACIALLY FelixTheHouseFreak! GORGOUS TV, GLAD IT NOT BEING DUMPED INTO A LANDFILL!
Damn, I just got notified of this! A lot of things waserman said can depend on what kind of TV's he has and what luck he has had in the past finding replacements. You can still get CRT's rebuilt for a base price of $250. I have been lucky enough to find a replacement 14BP4 CRT for this television for $20 just in case I need it. This was my first attempt at fixing a set and I know, the wiring looks terrible xD. The only way I would gut a TV like this is if there was no other option.

Its doing well. I haven't really worked on it, it still needs a few more capacitors and resistors to have it working like it was new. Recently I have been working on a 1947 DuMont RA-103 television. Once that is done I will start working on a 1947 RCA victor 721-TS.
