CRT TV repairman?

[K_W]

I have a nice 2005 Toshiba 24AF45 flat-tube CRT that I am using for my old game consoles and it has a minor pincushion issue (3-4 pixels) in the top right 1/2 of the screen.

It is present with all the consoles and very noticeable, so I'd like to get it resolved as the TV has many more years left in it.

Who still works on CRTs?

I've downloaded a service manual and is doesn't list pincushion adjustment by that term, but I will have it printed for the repairman.

You know that you can buy a new LCD for less than a repair visit?

This 27" should get you about the same size 4:3 ratio as your 24". $125

EDIT: add this to get the composite out of your game to HDMI

If it is the same model we had you need 3 people to move it.....

Sony Trinitron is the only way to properly play console games. . I wouldn't let my wife get rid of hers, she didn't understand why. Now I have a basement and it feels like the old Nintendo days.

I'm trying to determine if I have room for the one happygunner has offered, but it would be a very tight fit in such a small room.

The 24" I have now is a perfect fit for the console cabinet.

It might be. It's like almost a 200lb TV. Waiting for a shoulder harness so only 2 people can carry it. We hardly use it anymore so looking for a new home for it. PS2 is still hooked into it.

My son plays his games on an old Mits 35" CRT. Still going.

I don't see a Turbografx-16 in that cabinet. You are doing it wrong!

Never played one. All my friends had Atari, Sega, Nintendo or some form of PC... I only had C128/64, PC, and GameBoy growing up.

I have repaired several CRT monitors in my arcade games, usually a $15 cap kit and about an hour time with a solder sucker and soldering Iron fixes most issues. You may have to decase the TV and read the values on each cap and order what you need (arcade monitor cap kits come pre-packaged with the correct caps).
It really is a pretty simple process to recap a monitor just remember to discharge the tube otherwise you will get a really bad (and sometimes deadly) shock.
Search YouTube videos about doing “arcade cap kits” to see how easy it is
