thanks, but my leaky bowels are not the issue. in the words of tyler durden, "how is being clever working out for you?"

Old huge rear projection TV.
RBG focused bassakwards and upside down.

Not an expert but it doesnt sound like 1 of the three guns. More like color circuit is dying.
Hard to get parts for an eight year old TV. In fact purchasing a LCD TV would be cheaper then trying to fix that old thing.

Why do you want to keep it in the first place?

well, i dont. its for a friend. i told them not to bother keeping it, but... thanks for the input
