If changing the source fixed it, it's not likely a color oscillator problem, but a color phase lock or color killer issue. (Just my 2 cents worth. Anything is possible.) Note, in some sets, if the color oscillator dies, the screen gets a greenish color balance. You didn't mention anything like that. You can try pulling the oscillator tube to see what the symptoms are for future reference.
