Follow-up: The problem went away when I substituted an upper drum from a
similar machine (the one with the audio problem).

Hi...

Yes, the color problem happened rather suddenly. One day it was OK, the
next
day a program I taped had the color problem when played back. The color
was
OK when I played it on a different machine. I've done a couple of head
cleanings to no avail.

Thanks.

I've seen this problem resolved with a good head cleaning but if that
doesn't
work, you may need a new amplifier chip. Did the color anomalies develop
suddenly or over time? If the former is the case, you're probably in for
an
expensive/time consuming repair
