I haven't even looked at the set, but my coworker says the picture suddenly lost all red color. A little research and I found this is not uncommon with this set, including the diode addition fix. I'm not ready to order parts, but if this is what I need, I can't locate this part anywhere. Search of web and this group came up empty. Anyone here know of a cross reference part or where to purchase the original? Thankyou for your time.
Losing red on any CRT means, usually, a bad connection on the red channel of the video board (failed components are possible, including the CRT, but that's less likely). Inspect for solder joint failure at the connector and the video drive transistors.
You aren't by any chance confusing the location number with the part number are you? The part number is, AN5862K and you can find them on eBay. Also MCM electronics says they are on backorder for a couple of weeks.
Good luck.

Sorry for the delay, and thanks for the reply. I posted the location number since I figured alot of techs would be familiar with this particular part. I did search by part number, and came up empty. I will surf ebay and see what's available. Still haven't put my hands on the set, but as I said, if this part is confirmed shot, want to be able to order at that time. Thanks again.
Just replace it. They fail frequently with the symptoms you noted. Here's a link:
Good luck.
