Question Best Scart Cable for Flickering Picture on CRT TV

I have a Toshiba 32" CRT tv, which is about 5-6 years old.

Recently, the picture keeps flickering on all channels, and I am pretty sure a new scart is required.

However, with so many diff scarts on the market, can any1 recommend the a decent scart at a decent price???
(i.e. nothing fancy, just need the job done....)

i paid £10 each for some gold plated ones which are really good, the only downside is that their chunky & any sockets that are closely side by side you cant use two of these scart leads as they are too chunky to fit.
