Another day, another Trinitron

[YamahaFreak]

So another Trinitron followed me home today, that makes five. This one is a KV-27S26, and has its original remote control. It was a trash find, and it had a sign taped to it that read, "IT WORKS--WAIT 3 MIN."

Upon getting it home:

The set does power on, but there is an uncharacteristically long wait before the picture comes on, and once it IS on, the picture flicks between a black raster and the picture. This goes on for about five minutes. The flicking is worst when there is lots of white on the screen. The colors are also way off, seems like too much red/green and not enough blue? No amount of tinkering with the picture controls or the service menu adjustments fixes this problem. Sound is normal and working fine. Ideas? I was thinking the CRT may be going south, but I hope not. Could I possibly use the CRT from my (currently) dead KV-27S66 to test this theory?

Here is a short (~2 minutes) video showing the issues with this set:
