I have a sony trinitron 1998 model that recently started failing. Part of 
the electron gun heater circuit is failing, so the TV takes a long time to 
warm up, it blinks, I have adjusted the intensity a few times to stave it 
off, but now it blink constantly and the circuitry simply won't allow the 
image to stay on the screen.

Anyway, all the caps, boards, fly back transformer and tube of course is 
good, if someone wants to muck with it, there are some mods on internet to 
give it a year more of life as well by wrapping some windings around the 
heater coil, changing an inductor here and there, etc.

Bottom line, I am going to recycle it soon, and wanted to see if anyone is 
interested in taking it to play with or use for parts let me know. Weighs 
150lb easy, so not light to lift, you have to pick it up with a truck, won't 
fit in a car, unless its an SUV.
