I need some advice and some info on where I can find some parts. OK I
got this TV free from my grandpa last summer after he upgraded to a 56"
HD Sony I have just recently got around to messing with it due to
moving, so anyway I was wondering where I might be able to pick up a
new screen for this thing. The current one is has tons of scratches in
it and its a little warped. And I also have a problem a little hard to
explain. When ever I use the TV to play a DVD or Video Game there is a
Ora around the Character and text the color on said Ora depends on the
color its surrounding and the brighter the color the larger the Ora
gets. I am trying to get at least 2 more years out of this TV giving me
time to save up for something better. My grandpa bought this TV new in
92. Any advice and help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advanced.

TV Info:
Make: Magnavox
Model #: RM8540 A103
Serial #: 11237205
Pack Date Code: 3011R091D
Chassis Model #: PTV382-A001

Ora? I believe you mean aura (luminous radiation), which surrounds bright
object. If the set is 13 years old, and belonged to your grampaw, its
probably never been serviced. Removing the screen, and washing 13 years of
dust, smoke, and whatever off the mirror and the top of the crts will
probably eliminate the aura, or halo.
As to a new screen, good luck. I suggest you save your money. This unit is
past its prime.
