So the colors are OK in the middle of the screen you say? You may have had some damage to the printed circuit board while moving the TV set. Older sets, the printed circuit boards do get very brittle and can easily crack. Also you could have a problem with the auto degaussing circuit of this TV set. This circuit comes on automatically when the TV set is first turned on for a few seconds. In your case, recycling the turn on and turn off a few times, unplugging the TV set in between turning on and off for at least 1 hour, may help improve your problem. If it does not, there is a slight case that the shadow mask inside of the picture tube could have shifted due to the move and is usually caused from a shock to the cabinet from falling or dropping. If this is the case, the only way to fix this would be to replace the picture tube. In this case, it would be less to buy a new TV set. Good Luck
thank you so much for the prompt and helpful response.
well turning it on and off doesn't work, so it's probably the picture tube. How much do you think it cost to replace that? do you think it is worth having someone check it out, or why waste the money, just get a new tv?
If the set was looking good, maybe spend the money for an estimate, if the set is not that old.
