Hello,
The above TV suddenly has blue shadows/lines along the bottom & right side. When I try to converge, I can move the blue left-to-right, but not up-and-down. I called Magnavox authorized repair and they want $100 to visit, plus $265 for labor, before any parts are ordered. Ouch!
I've read that it might be the IC's (AMPs) that control the Blue Gun. How difficult are these to replace? I'm an old EE, now IT/computer guy so board replacement/soldering are not out of the question. Any pointers, tips hints on a solution would be greatly appreciated.

That sounds about right. That's about the same price we get to change the IC's. Better pay the guy..we get 150.00 when they are brought in.

Thanks for the reply. I guess my main question is, how difficult is it to change out the IC's myself. I've done circuit board sodering and replacement of components before. Now I can get a replacement TV for $799. I'm up to $365 just to get them to my house. How much are the IC's?
