Well this sucks, my 17" KDS CRT is in need of repair. Was working fine all weekend but today it started making arcing sounds and the picture went black. Where do I learn to safely repair a CRT? (Or is there a local CRT doctor taking new patients?)

I keep noticing these fluffy round birds. Why are they so round? Are they pregnant? Or molting? I call them Chunky Fluffers. #birds
