My 13" Sony color TV fell off a table onto its face yesterday.
The picture tube broke at its rear around the electron guns.

I am going to try to replace the tube myself.  How hard are the
convergence, purity, and beam intensity adjustments to make for
the new tube?  Has anyone done this at home before?

I have a VHS tape of a color bar test pattern, and some text
across a screen to pass for a grid and dot pattern.

Am I crazy to try this?
