Our screen is all blue except for red and green orbs along the perimeter.
The repair shop said it was the "degouzing" and the cost is $190. Does
that sound right? Also he said the picture was fuzzy and the tube was
likely going out. He suggested buying a new tv. Anybody have thoughts on
that?

Hi...

The spelling for the word you're using is "degaussing", if
you'd like to google it. Ignore the entries that refer to
marine operations and you'll find some entries.

For what it's worth, what you describe sounds extreme for
a magnetized tube, but it's worth a shot at degaussing it.
Nothing much to lose. 190 dollars is insane, however.

Let us know if you'd like more.

Is there any video at all. Sony aperture grill CRT's don't take well
to strong degaussing, if my memory of Sony training manuals is
correct. Was the shop you took it to Sony-authorized? Sometimes that
can make a difference.
