[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1148919, member: 56379"] I think if you ever needed to get the iMacs CRT display repaired...after you get an estimate for a repair such as this...you will be "singing a different tune".;) I wouldn't be surprised if a repair place (if you can find one willing & knowledgeable enough to do it)...charged you $200-$250 or more!!!:( If you haven't fully disassembled one of these iMac G3's...you have absolutely no idea how hard it is to open them up to get full access to the CRT display components. So: - lots of time for the repair shop to disassemble the computer - the cost of the repair parts - time to install the repair parts (lots of soldering & desoldering) - lots of time to reassemble the computer Basically...lots of $$$$ for a computer that's worth $25 or less. - Nick [/QUOTE]
