Hello, I noticed the blue was really low in the picture and green dominated. There is also a halo affect. So I cleaned the mirror and lenses and no change. I looked through the blue lense and noticed a yellow solidified liquid with a crator like appearance. I assumed that some moisture had gotton between the lens and CRT so I began to take the 4 screws out of the lens and low and behold oil started leaking out and about a 1/4 tsp. fell on the board below. I found out that this liquid is a coolant used to keep the CRT cool. Should I just list this in the free section of craigslist.com or see if there is a way to fix it. I haven't plugged it in or turned it on abviously as I don't want to fry the board, it may be already damaged as it fell on 2 small caps and I assume they are discharged already. :(
