Refrigerators are the same way. If the compressor goes out, toss the thing and get a new one. New compressor + extract old freon + add new freon = More than new one.
As far as TV's: Toss it and get a new one, just DON'T get an RCA. I have 4 RCA's in the house and all but the oldest one had bad tuners in them. I had them repaired because an electronics firm in town started specializing in replacing RCA tuners and would do it cheap.
