From: ladybug on 22 Aug 2006 22:15 I don't want to buy ESR meter for one time repair. I used to work with electronics a lot but now I switched to software and don't touch this anymore. This was my kid's TV and it worked flawlessly for almost 15 years. I desided to give it a shot but don't know if it worth my time. Do you suggest not to mess with it any longer and get a new set? I can get 27" tube TV set for under $200

Well, the people in here gave you good advice. You will be changing a lot of electrolytic capacitors. The only practical way that I know of to locate them all is with an ESR meter. You could also try bridging the caps with a similarly sized electrolytic capacitor (Observe polarity) while the set is running to see if it improves the situation. This is an "Old Time Practice" that worked. It is not as easy as the ESR meter and if you have several bad caps, then this method may not work for you. If you have a meter that measures capacitance, you could take each capacitor out and measure it, replace any that are not up to par, and move on. Cleaning and repairing as you go. No, this is not worth your time if you ask that question. By all means, buy the new set and be done with it. You have a 15 year old television and even if you get it fixed perfectly, and this will take many hours of your time, you will still have a 15 year old television that will not be worth $30 at a garage sale. If you spend 6 hours on it or more, how much money could you make in that time? Enough to buy a TV set? Then just buy it and be done with it. I was under the impression that you wanted to repair this set for something to do, as a hobby sort of thing. It is in no way worth repairing from an economic standpoint at all, period. -- ~Ohmster |
