Sounds like a bad connection

Sounds like a bad connection on the Red CRT printed circuit board or the CRT socket is loose.  If you do not have any solid state repair experience or any TV repair experience, it is not a good idea to mess around with a TV set as there is alot of high voltage inside these puppies.

thank you for the advice

thank you for the advice checked the board for bad solder connections found none i swapped boards between the red tube and the green tube and the problem changed.  do you know where i can get a new board?

If the problem switched

If the problem switched between the red and went to the green, the problem is for sure on the green board.  i checked around and found that the board was no longer available new from several distributors but you can check around at differant RCA distributors in your area.  Most of the time, techs will repair this board as there is not much to it.  You can also try ptscorp.com and find the telephone number and call them and see if they have one for exchange or maybe they will repair it for you.

There is a service menu that you will need to adjust but you will need to get a service manual and before you adjust anything you will need to write down all of the values. Failure to use a service manual and writing down all of the values before you try and adjust the set could result in a falure to the Tv set that would most likely make the set unrepairable at a feasable rate.

There is a label that shows the convergence patterns and adjustments and gives details on adjusting each color it says to hold setup and push video to access i feel i am able to make those adjustments thank you
