I would move on and uprade to a new TV. I just recently upgraded to a Sony SXRD XBR 60" from my Mitsubishi 65" RPTV due to the voltage regulator was poping, the tubes were begining to leak. (Did you know that they placed a drip tray inside most of them because it typical for the tubes to leak some of thier fluid), but If you didn't get a TV with a drip try it landed on your circuit boards. Some sets had drip trays because if was "typical". My set was going on 5 years old with very little hours. I'm much happier with the Sony set; of course mine was covered by warranty and I didn't have to fork out the money that you would. However, I think you would be much happier that you moved on; hell, just the size of the box alone is reason IMO.
