[Mike L]

Anyone know a tv repair man? Do they still exist? Thanks in advance.

What kind of TV? What's the problem?

depending on the type of TV, nowadays its cheaper to buy a new one than it is to get one repaired.

I have an older 60" Sony DLP that seems to have gone out. I replaced the bulb in it a couple years ago and was working great. No out of nowhere it looks like this:

That's sweet! That's a keeper. Don't fix it, it's not broken. But maybe you need to take some psychedelics to appreciate it more?

Paul's TV in La Habra used to fix them.

perhaps the color wheel stopped spinning? i have the same tv, they're dirt cheap on craigslist. cheaper than the parts i would guess.

I used to do TV repair. Unfortunately, it was 100 years ago, back when parts were actually available. i think the biggest problem will be finding parts, since manufacturers don't care about supplying repair parts.

It almost looks like the set went into a test pattern. Otherwise, something in the horizontal oscillator circuit may have gone bad. Again, fix would be simple, if parts were available. Worse, I'm guessing the entire TV is on a single circuit board these days. The suggestion to look for a Craigslist set might be the best one.

My grandfather was a tv repairman, I grew up hearing him vent about lack of part support...
