Default TV output going yellow

From: "N_Cook"

Our older projection television is looking visibly yellow. Sometimes it
fixes itself and then returns to yellow.
Is this a gun problem or a chip on the motherboard that's easily fixed?
It's an older Magnavox 52". I'm retired and really can't afford a new tv.


Always same shade of yellow ?, jumps from good/bad/good or drifts between
states ?


It jumps from good/bad/good but is staying more bad now so it may be
getting worse. Color adjustments aren't helping, unfortunately, as well
as different sources ie... dvd, vcr, cable. Whatever it is, it's after
the source inputs. It's a three gun rear projection unit (quite large)
and has always worked well, up until now. We bought it in 1991 so it's 18
years old. My crappy old pension doesn't allow me to replace it so I hope
a fix isn't too costly, otherwise we'll have to watch yellow programming
from now on.

Thanks.
