Is it possible to fix a TV that hasd "lost" the red in it's color spectrum?

Question

I seem to have lost the red on my TV color spectrum. Everything is either too blue or too yellow. Is it worth fixing? The TVs probably about 15 + years old.

The red channel is dead. This could the red gun in the CRT (picture tube) or in the red drive circuit. It could be as simple as a bad solder joint or as serious as a bad CRT. There really is no way of knowing without troubleshooting it.

Since it is over 15 years old, perhaps it's time to consider replacing it?

Answer 2

Chances are you lost your red picture tube gun. Time for a new TV.
