Does the picture look like this? If so, your degaussing thermistor has

Otherwise, the picture tube could be bad, & Zeniths are known for bad
tubes. You can boost
it though, at a repair shop. Dani.

That definitely looks worse than my tv. It kinda will flicker back to
correct coloring for about 10 seconds every minute or so and then go
back to more of a green hue. Basically I was hoping someone was gonna
tell me i just need to open the tv and reconnect or solder some wire.


If the entire picture is tinted the evenly (not a tie-dye effect like
that picture), then it's probably bad soldering in the video output
circuit. Moving the set probably caused the failing connections to
act up now. If you can identify and repair bad solder connections,
you should be able to fix it yourself. The bad connections are
probably on the small board that plugs into the end of the CRT's neck.
