Magnavox RM8540 A103	Can't Post

I need some advice and some info on where I can find some parts. OK I got this TV free from my grandpa last summer after he upgraded to a 56" HD Sony I have just recently got around to messing with it due to moving, so anyway I was wondering where I might be able to pick up a new screen for this thing. The current one is has tons of scratches in it and its a little warped. And I also have a problem a little hard to explain. When ever I use the TV to play a DVD or Video Game there is a Ora around the Character and text the color on said Ora depends on the color its surrounding and the brighter the color the larger the Ora gets. I am trying to get at least 2 more years out of this TV giving me time to save up for something better. Any advice and help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

First problem the screen replacments can be found at WWW.vancebaldwin.com they could be a little spendy at around 350.00 or mabey you could find a shop in your area that has a used ferensil screen ( the one in the front with lines in it that in most cases is the only one needing replacment when they get scratched ) some shops like ours will cut down a screen to fit for around a $100.00
The second problem the "fuzzy" is caused by a infection in the coolant in one or all three CRT's. that coolant must be removed then the chamber cleaned and new coolant installed . A good shop could do this fairly cheap and that way no coolant gets spilled or leakes out destroying the set.
