Lee Ho has been repairing TVs in his Decatur shop since 1974. The price list in the shop includes repairs for black and white TVs and tape decks. He promises he can repair any model TV from any company.
“Repairs are not easy. We have three or four people working each day. We probably repair seven, maybe 10 per day.â€
“The Korean products are really good. Samsung and LG. And the next best brands would be from Japan. Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba. With these, it’s really easy to find parts.â€
On new LCD and plasma TVs: “These new products create problems. There’s such a small space and there’s no air circulation. They usually create a large amount of work. New products aren’t made to work as long.
On old TVs: “Televisions that have been around for twenty years are still working good. I still repair a lot of TV’s made in 1980. It’s easy to find parts for them.â€
