We have a six-year old Toshiba 35" television that has recently begun having
problems with the bowing (or bending in) of the picture about 2 to 3" on
each side. At first it was just when you turned it on and it would grow
out to normal after about three minutes. Now, it is "permantently" bowed.

In the old days, there were adjustments for geometry problems, but not any
more.

Simple question. Is this something that is worth having repaired or is it
the start of much worse things (like the tube going) and I should just look
at a new set?

Thanks in advance.

Need to troubleshoot and repair the pincushion correction circuits. If the
picture quality is good then it may be worth dropping a few $$$ to have it
serviced.

Worth repairing? Definitely! Will be much cheaper to fix it that to
dispose and buy anew!

Not tube related.....circuitry related!

Have it fixed now before problem escalates into something more expensive to
fix.
