So in other words if it was repaired for defective thumb wheel under Highland warranty it expired 5 years after GE took it over. The Service center said they themselves would fix it for nothing if I delivered it and had the parts available to them and they would not try to process it under GE warranty but the TV would have NO guarantee to work or function because of its age.So I guess we will never know if GE would actually pay for it.

That's too bad. That's about as much luck as I get with TV repair service centers too. But hey, if they won't fix it, I'm sure you'll find someone on here who will.
