The real answer, sadly (it offends me to say this) that it's likely not

Yeah, it's only *worth* repairing if that's what gets you off, but
then you become that weird TV guy whose house is stacked with old sets
awaiting repair, and your hair is sticking straight out from one too
many encounters with the high-voltage on the CRT.

The state of affairs is such that the low failure rate and low cost to
manufacture "durable" goods these days, that it's cheaper to replace
the few that fail with new units than it is to staff and stock a
repair facility.
