Tv John

ABT told me they charge $ 129 for an *** in-​store *** estimate. Yes just an estimate. ABT charges $ 200 extra to do in-​home estimates, yikes. They also said they may not have parts, so I called John instead and scheduled an appointment for an estimate. John only charged me $ 50 for an in-​home estimate! Not only does John not charge extra for in-​home repairs, but he shows up on-​time! Whoa, not prepared for that ;) John was friendly but got straight to work. I told him up front the TV was a 15 years Sony Trinitron XBR he diagnosed the problem within 30 minutes and told me the main system board and power supply would have to be replaced at a cost of $ 300. He suggested *not* to repair the TV. Yes he said not to repair the TV because other parts may go. After he put the TV back together it started working again. Since then it turns on sporadically. We just might have to leave the TV on forever. Thanks John!
