I have an old RCA tv set (~8 years) which just went bad.

Here is what happened. The tv went out of focus one day
so I used the knob in the back to bring it back in focus.
This worked great for about 2-3 weeks. Suddenly one day,
while I was watching it, it just blurred right in front of
my eyes. Now the back knob has no effect.

Did the picture tube quit ? or would it be just some
component (R or C) inside which gave in after long time
of service ? Should I just throw the tv away or what ?

I will appreciate if some of you can shed some light.
Thanks
