28" CRT telly fallen on floor. Is it salvagable?

My brother had to move his 28" Sony CRT telly the other day to do some
decorating. It fell over on it's front with a amighty crash! Upon
rescuing it, the screen has a big splodge of green on one side and
purple on the other. He's tried switching it on & off (properly) to
degause it but no effect. I thought maybe the shadow mask had
distorted. Is it fixable?

No Marky, sorry. You've gone and buckled the aperture grille

Someone will no doubt tell you that the screen is magnetised suggest you
degauss it won't work in this case, trust me.

You sure it's not an insurance fiddle? Accidentally fell over while
decorating? Hmmm. Got accidental damage cover?

Is it fixable?

You could just squirting some NMN on the front to cover up the splodges....
No, it's f*cked.

He already has a Toshiba LCD telly in his lounge. This CRT was in
(what was) my dad's lounge, and as my dad is now in a home, it doesn't
really get used now. It will go down the tip this weekend.

Lots of little magnets and coils some of which could have moved from their
sealed positions. Its kind of like having a rubik cube with the added
complication that the coloured sides only look the colour they should be
when they are pointing the right way.

Insurance claim perhaps?

Not always the case but for various reasons, its a mess if it canbe sorted
at all. Always duct tape a pillow to the front of tvs if moving them as they
are nearly always front heavy if of the crt kind.

When I was in the TV trade thats the way we used to transport them in
estate cars and Vans either face down on the seats or on very large
chunks of foam rubber...

Quite a common fault on certain Sony models [AE1 chassis] was for the scan
coils on the CRT neck to work loose, creating purity errors around the tube
face, definitely worth geting checked out to see if they have been dislodged
by the large mechanical shock, however it's not something I would recommend
for the uninitiated, as large and dangerous voltages can still be present
around this tube area, even after the set has been switched off and
disconnected from the mains.
