First take a flash light and take a look down inside the tubes. Offset the flash light beam when shining it through the lens, so you can see if the fluid levels are low. If the fluid levels are low, that means they are leaking. Make sure they haven't been leaking on the circuit boards. If someone is going pull the tubes and do the seals, $350 is fair. Whats your picture look like? Low fluid looks like, half the picture is OK and the other half looks fuzzy. Now if you've got contaminated fluid the whole pix can look fuzzy. If you've got a dirty mirror and lens, that can make it look fuzzy. Take the screen off, turn the set on and take a look down into the lens. Warning, squint your eyes a bit. It's going to be bright.
