These days the entire TV set is almost formed as a piece ;-) Seriously, when I was an A/V tech I remember getting a modern Korean/Japanese/whatever set to repair (it's usually the older sets that need service - and people would often pay more than the purchase price of e new one to do so). The set consisted of a picture tube, an RF module and one main circuit board. The circuit board had the flyback transformer, one transistor for horizontal output, one IC for vertical output and one *single* IC for EVERYTHING ELSE! This was over 10 years ago, so I imagine things have progressed even further in the area of reducing manufacturing costs. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
