Got a repair tip from a retired TV guy that totally backfired on me
An old timer at the shop told me to always replace the flyback transformer on any CRT that shows a dark picture, so I ordered a $35 part for a customer's Sony Trinitron last week. Turns out the problem was just a bad solder joint on the horizontal deflection coil, and I wasted 2 hours pulling the whole chassis apart for nothing. Has anyone else gotten bad advice from someone who "fixed these for 30 years" that steered you the wrong way?

Ugh that stinks, and @perez.mia even seasoned pros can miss simple stuff sometimes.

so you think a guy with decades of hands on experience doesn't know what he's talking about
