Repair shops, especially today in digital world, will try and tell you that in order to boost sales of newer TVs. they don't even give any time for those still using a VCR either. I can fix a VCR easy. a little alcohol and a rag and those old rubber idler tires are fixed (and that fixes the rewind too)
Convergence is very complicated. there's tabs on the flyback yoke that adjusts it but it takes a lot of skill or you get double-ghosts or something.
If it's a projection TV, what normally happens at the end of life of either one of the three separate picture tubes (red/green/blue) is that they dry out and you get really 'foggy' pictures or a picture only useable in the very center. that's not economical to fix.
