In most places these days, people are regularly giving away CRT TVs. Yes,
giving them away for nothing. If you just want a replacement, keep an eye
on Craigslist for a couple of weeks; one or more will probably show up. (A
search here in the Boston area turned up three that were posted in the last
three days.) There will be especially rich possibilities after Christmas; a
lot of them are likely to go out to the curb just after new flat screens
arrive as holiday presents.

I don't want to discourage you from fixing the set you have. But if you're
not prepared to deal with the hassles of working on a high voltage device,
it might be more practical to just find a replacement.
