This could be the end of consumer electronic repair

[rcaman]

i have been doing tv repair for 30 years and yes our days are very nunbered. there will be sort of a hobby for us fixing some sets and that will be far and few in between we need a huge warehouse and throw nothing away. my shop gets most of the business within a 40 mile radius and it is getting slower and slower. a new walmart supercenter opened 20 miles from us in a college town where is was born and it is not a big town. i counted 46 different plasma and lcd sets that were on display not including crt sets. they has a vizio 32" plasma with a hell of a picture on it for a little over $500.00 sanyo is the only set i would buy from walmart. we are a asc for sanyo and they are the absolute best out there now. they will take care of the customer and send us parts at no cost under warranty. steve
