Somebody might have an idea

is the horizontal output transformer an expensive fix? I was reading that a problem on some of the WEGA tvs is that they have a transformer mounted on a board which cannot support the weight of the transformer sitting on the board, and the board cracks...600 doller repair in that case, which, isn't worth it...I'll probably just dump it back where I found it....well maybe...I hate to do that though...these throwaway electronics are truely sad...
