Zenith projection tv with convergence problem



I have a 52 inch projection that I started having convergence problems
just about 2 months after the warranty went out. I live in a area
where the only repair is 40 to 50 miles away. We had a shop open up
and I took the tv there and he said the convergence board was out. He
kept the tv for about 4 months and never came across to get the board
or repair.
I have just curved lines on the screen now and see all the colors but
they won't go together. This tv says on the back mfg 1997. I got it
about 1999. It has been out for these 3 years or so.
Here is my question. I have a friend that had what appears to be the
same tv. His tv had a weak pix and the repair man came and turned up
something to get a bright pix but said that it was at it's max. Then a
year later this friends set went completely out.
If the tv is the same as mine can I try myself to take the convergence
board out and put his in. He says I can have it. Can some one tell me
where the board is or what I am looking for.
ANY AND ALL HELP APPRECIATED.
If you reply you might also send me an email to my email address

THANKS
