Good luck - fixing older model TV's that do not work requires the purchase of a new TV. Even the new ones sometimes go out - right after the warranty period ends. The price of most electronics is low so a new one would be a good idea and would get you ready for digital TV. You may be able to find a repair shop who still fixes TVs, VCR's, DVD players but a good one will tell you the same thing i just did. Good luck.
