We just moved into a smaller place and are looking to sell our Sony
53" rear-projection TV. It's a 1990 model and is in perfect working
condition (we just had the boards resoldered a few months ago), but
it's taking up half of our new living room.

Looking at ads for similar sets for sale we're seeing a huge range of
prices, from $400 to ~$1200, and we're wondering what the parts
value of this set is.

Thanks,

Mike Foss.



I'd say around $400 assuming it is working perfectly and has excellent
CRTs. If it's been used a lot, then it will be worth a lot less. The
picture should be razor sharp with no burn in.

It will be worthless for parts unless you happen to find someone who
needs a part from it at that time. Even then, used parts are worth a
tiny fraction of new parts. No one will want to store a huge TV until
they someday need a part from it.
