Told the customer that the crt appears to be bad, even though it is still under factory warranty. He said send it to the land fill. Thought I would fire it up one more time, like always to see if I was thinking right. I don't have a print on this but I don't see how the crt can be bad because if the shadow mask was loose it shouldn't change color wise. When put it on video 1 does have a pretty 3 color effect with green on the left blue in the center and red on the right, BUT if bring up the Menu bar the color is blue on the left red in the middle and green on the right inside the bar. Or even the volume bar which is suppose to be red? is red in the center with the blue back ground but on the right with the red background it changes to Green. I don't see how a shadowmask could do this. Any one have any thoughts? Mr. R. L.
