this tv is from an ebay auction ending in 31 hours, so i would really appreciate any immediate responses that you guys can help me with.
http://cgi.ebay.com/...=5776143440&rd=1
from the auction:
"Are you a risk taker in need of a REALLY big tv? This is a 60 inch Zenith TV that was working great until last sunday. The picture just went blank but the sound still works. I'm not sure what is wrong with it. It was bought new in 1995, has PIP and Dolby Surround. It has 2 remotes. Serial # 581-14162066 I've been trying to talk the wife into a new set and now is my chance. If some adventurous type will take this tv off my hands my dreams of high definition could come true. For parts or to repair this baby is priced right (no reserve). LOCAL PICKUP ONLY please. I'm in south central CT (Deep River, 06417)."
the tv is within driving distance of me. however, in order for me to pick it up i will have to rent a uhaul truck, which could run a pretty penny. i also have to get someone to help me pick up the piece.
i then might have to get a tv repair guy to do the stuff for me if i cant fix it myself. i know nothing about this sort of thing. do any of you have any idea what the cause of this might be?
someone wrote into the guy selling the tv after he posted the auction saying:
I can tell you what is wrong with that tv , since I live in Maine There is no way of getting the set , so here we go you have Two Resisters that go bad in that set that's why you have no picture , but you should have sound the parts should cost no more then $2.00 have a nice day
is this guy right? if he is, can i do this myself and if so, what is it precisely that i have to do? im in the market for a big screen tv and if i can buy this for a hundred bucks plus uhaul it could save me about a grand. however, if it doesnt work then im gonna have to pay someone to come and drop this thing off somewhere.
is it worth the gamble? thank you so much.
