Quasar Solid State Color TV
Model WT5972TP, Chassis MTS977, CRT# 19VJTP22, Manufactured June 1981.
The set is operational, but i need some help. I am running an s-video connection through the video card of my pc to a Magnavox DVD recorder, then outputting a 75-ohm coax cable from the recorder to the back of the Quasar, for monitoring purposes. The signal quality is fine, but the lately the color is too brownish, and a little washed out. Regular Cable TV is the same, so I ruled out the pc/dvd setup. I adjusted the RGB controls and drives for a nice picture but the background is too dull brown. Also, the only customer controls for brightness are 'Personal touch' for soft to vivid (just a contrast control); and "Bright" which is best set at zero. Why is this? If i turn up this "bright" the pix is just more white and washed out. Is the tubes shot? I don't think so because the colors are all strong and brightness is good, cept for the dark brown tint.

Not familiar with this particular chassis, but here are some general comments:
Did you adjust the controls after turning the color all the way off? Make sure you can get a good B&W picture (no tint of color in shadows) with the color off. Also, the RGB cutoff controls should give you good blacks (not washed out) with the brightness about mid range.

Sounds like the screen control may be adjusted too high.

The set now has an even better pic than before. The screen control was normal but when I went to adjust the internal color cutoff's they were messed up a little. I got a great b&w pic and then an excellent color one. Thanks for the help.
