i have an old (1993-95 model) 27" jvc tv. a couple weeks ago, a bunch
of
black horizontal lines started appearing at the bottom of the screen.
the
black lines appear independent of the video source, it doesnt matter if
it's
on antenna, cable, video or dvd. recently it has gotten worse, the
black
lines now occupy half of the screen. is this problem easily fixed? i
don't
know if it's worth bringing this to a tv repair shop or if i should
just get
a new set. any advice is greatly appreciated. thanks.

I have a JVC 27850

Excellent T.V., get the vertical repaired. LA7832, LA7840 etc,
(depends on model). Also 100uf @ 50 volt cap, & possibly other
caps. Check 75 volt zener diode. If you let it go, more parts will
go, then it will go dead.Sky.
