Really old TVs had replaceable vacuum tubes. He's probably talking about the picture tube (which is the glass you are viewing on those old sets). If the picture tube goes out it's not worth fixing.

That said, could be something as simple as a fuse. Still, if you got 20 years out of it that's about all you can expect. Try getting that kind of mileage out of a plasma tv.
