I charge $64 if it requires resoldering the vertical IC and $84 + parts if
it reauires changing the output IC and/or any caps. I don't think I am
gouging anyone.

Those rates, of course, include routine adjustment of focus and white
balance, resoldering other components that might need it, leakage test, and
verifying the operation of the tuner, switching, and condition of the CRT
before fixing the set. If I had to charge less it would not be worth my
time.

Yes simple repair for a shop . It should not cost more than 50 to 60$ if
so then you are getting gouged .
