$1 pickup at the flee market - fix or dump?
montgomery ward, picked up at this condition at the flee market for $1.
i brought it home and plugged it in and i had to leave for a few hours.
now i can tell something is shorting out due to the sound it makes and the screen wont turn on and the side panel wont light up as it did in the photo before that happened.
I know the risks of fixing a CRT, I DO NOT plan on fix it myself since i dont have a death wish, but i do wonder if its worth fixing it? is the tv known for shorting out in a certain part?
any tips will be appreciated!
