Bill, This is normal on VCRs, when the heads are clogged. It is also normal on most TVs when the ant. is not connected. You should be able to turn the blue screen off, if you need to.Sounds like a tuner problem. Check it for cracked grounds. Also, make sure the customer has a VCR, or a DVD, to see if the set works on ext. input jacks. This should tell you if the tuner is bad.
