Yes, although starting somewhere in the '80s even if they had wanted to repair the old one it became substantially harder as more and more discrete components ended up inside of hard-to-source ICs. I wonder if there are even any professional TV reapair shops left that troubleshoot to the component level rather than just the module level? (Since of course with labor costs being what they are relative to new modules cost, it's generally cheaper not to do so.) ---Joel
