I will say this television is pretty old and i'm not suprised it is
having problems since it was made in October 1987. I'm just surprised
it is still working. Although the colors are all shot from some of the
"guns" going out.

Anyways, in the last day, vertical bars have been forming from the left
of the screen. They decrease in darkness on only half of the screen.
The other (right) side is absent of these bars.

My questions a

What could be causing this?

Also, how much would the estimated cost be to repair it? Or would it be
wiser to just get a new television?

Probably some filter capacitors in the video or supply circuits. Due to the
age you may want to shop around for either a good price on the repairs or
just replace the 18 year old tele.
