I’m looking to purchase a second hand TV for my ‘man cave’. Looking at eBay there are a number available for bargain prices (£20-£30) but have cracked screens. Therefore, my request for advice or experience is as follows:
- has anyone done similar and replaced the screen from a local provider? Is it cost effective or am I better of buying new?
- are there any local business who may deal in this? I believe Geoff Hurlestone has now ceased trading.
Many thanks

The last time I got 1 cheap were years ago by going to my local HWRC during a quiet period with some bottles of ale & a understanding but nowadays people probably sell on FB marketplace & eBay so there’s less about getting disposed of.

Usually not possible to source the replacement parts any more to fixed broken screens but if it's a different fault it may be possible fix.

On Facebook marketplace for a secondhand telly not needing a repair are as cheap as chips really, might not be top spec but more than watchable.

Try Brians TV Repairs 321 Manchester Rd on the right as you go up Manchester Rd after Calderbrook Ave. He has a shop full of TVs some I think working and for sale and some I think he uses for spares for repairs.
