So, one evening i get bored and decide to buy a new lcd for my room. it replaced my 3 year old 32" Sharp crt (for sale, and its nice =))
As i was taking pictures of it to post on craigslist, i realize the coaxial cable input had gone missing. completely befuddled, i saw it lying on the floor. I am a fairly technical person with computers, but as far as the tv goes, my knowledge doesnt traverse into the mechanical world of the crt tv. What i would like to do is fix my little coax problem so i can successfully sell this tv.
I hear its quite dangerous to mess around with crts as the coils still retain current, even after being unplugged and collecting dust for a week. Is this mission of mine doable for someone of relatively little knowledge of the mechanics of a tv? Or is it better to lug the heavy bast@rd to a repair shop?
