Regardless of what the automotive people say about repairability, I
submit that modern television receivers aren't made to be repairable.
If it were otherwise, you'd be able to find people who repair them
for a living.
To be sure, some of the problems described on the giveaway sets sound
fairly simple--e.g. picture and sound suddenly disappear. But even
so, sets less than a year old seem to end up in the waste stream.
Cheers,
Chuck
