Default Replace the tube or chuck it?

I have a JVC 27 inch tv with standard picture tube. Its about 15 yrs old
now and I like the set because it has a built in surround sound system. My
problem is that it appears that the picture tube is getting weak. When I
turn it on, it is very bright, like the contrast is turned way up, but as
time goes on, the picture come closer to normal, but it appears the colors
are out of alignment as well. What I'm wondering is, is it cost effective
to replace the tube? If its not more than a couple of hundred dollars, I
think it might be. Any tv techs out there know what a ballpark price on
something like that might be? Thanks in advance.
