How much would it cost to repair my TV?

Question

I have a projection screen TV (I know, a little old-school, but it's 52", so I'd like to fix it if possible). The red color gun is out of alignment and the motor is burned out so I can't adjust it with the remote. How much do you think it would cost to repair it? Can it even be repaired? I figure it's worth about $500, so if the repairs are going to be more than $250, it probably isn't worth it. I live in Madison, WI, if that makes a difference.

Answer 1

it would cost you double what the tv is worth. Plus the picture isn't very good compared to what is out there. You can buy a 55"  HD LCD rear projection for like $1200 or go with a flat LCD HDTV for under $1000, like a 46", you will be much much happier than with an old 52" 4x3 tv.

Answer 2

just to look at it will cost you 250 dollars. tvs are cheap now a days . i would just go get a new one.
