Unlikely you can even get the tube to do it, at this point, and certainly
not cost effective. It costs fifty bucks just to put the thing on the tech's
bench.

No. The tube will cost more than a new TV. Plus, it has to be installed and
set up.

Why do you think it is the picture tube?

It's very rare that one would be dying at only 6 years. Usually a bad
picture is caused by something else.
