[QUOTE=MRX37;2655440]The picture's still surprisingly bright enough, but it's tinted blue. Adjusting the color drive controls on the CRT neck board made things better, but it's still tinted, and the blue drive is as low as it will go...

Got a 1995 Zenith Color Sentry 27" table model that belonged to my dad. He had it set up in an entertainment center along with a Pioneer receiver & cassette deck, Sony CD player, Technics belt drive TT, JBL speakers, RCA Hi-Fi VCR. In the fall of 2005 the thing went dead, after months of intermittenly going too pink all the time. He took it to Leon's TV here in Indy where they repaired the power supply. Held really good color for about a year, then went to nearly all green screen. After dad died 2 years ago, I decided to fiddle with the screen & drive controls-found out the only adjustments were on the board at the end of the CRT! Wow, things sure changed from his previous set, a 1978 RCA ColorTrak 25".

Not really enough adjustment range in these 1990s Zeniths-I'm still not satisfied with the color balance. Yet the tube is still bright & has quite good focus. Meanwhile my sister gave me a 1996 Sanyo 25" that has an excellent, lush, "Technicolor" image to it. Never been serviced, made in USA. Zenith of course, is a Mexican set. Go figure!
