20 yr. old Mitsubishi rear projection TV

My son has our old 45" rear projection Mitsubishi TV which still has a great picture except that the screen is very dark.  Contrast and brightness are maxed out but I was told by a friend that they had theirs repaired and the technician added a fluid to three tubes and they now get a great picture.  My son does not live near any TV repair shops.  Is it possible to repair this himself?  He has cleaned the screen. lamps and mirrors.   Any help would be appreciated.

On a 20 year old big screen

On a 20 year old big screen it could be dirty fluid or it could be weak CRT's.  Etiher way it's something best left for the Pro's.

I agree with MotvGUY, if your

I agree with MotvGUY, if your son does have any electronic repair experience, tell your son to get a service manual and try and do whats called a screen adjustment inside the set.  its an easy adjustment be he will need to follow the manual.  It can be done from the front of the set with the speaker grill and cover off.  Good Luck and let us know whats happens  or how it goes.
