To anyone with any TV repair experience.


I have three old TVs. They're from the late 80's to early 90's. One has a bad picture as far as color. Another shows a flat,squeezed looking picture. The third TV's power doesn't work. It may need a fuse. Anyway, I'm considering throwing them away instead of getting them fixed. My question is do any of these old TVs have any valuable replacement parts inside them that would sell on ebay?

Not really. The tuner circuits would be outdated, power supplies non-standard, and CRTs have lead glass. More importantly, the high voltages and caps around the yoke are deadly. Not worth the risk of shock or implosion fragments.
