yep, I remember having one as a teen, my own color tv, that was a big deal back in the day.

I thought the CRT was cloudy (besides the green halo) turns out it was just filth on the top of the screen, a little alcohol took care of that.

Last nite it did something odd, screen started to fade from the edges and get darker over all. turned it off, for a few minutes, then tried again, all good.

That was odd. I will mess with it some more if it does it again I will start looking around. could be something as simple as a heater filament. I have not done a thing to this one besides that shorted cap in the pin cushion, so I would not be surprized if there is a dirty tube socket somewhere.
