The lack of green to the image needs troubleshot and repaired. There are too many possibilities for the loss of the green without some troubleshooting information. It would be worth it if the set is not one of the earliest RPTV units to have a technician look at it and make internal measurements to provide you with an estimate for repair.

well.. hehe what is concidered an "early" RPTV? and what makes the non-early ones worht it more?

ah well the RPTV is a 95. Anything you think I could do besides calling a tech in?(gaurenteed not to be cheap)

Pull off the screen and look into the CRT,s and tell us are they all equal in brightness and clarity.

Looks like you're missing green, it could be as simple as a cracked solder joint or as extensive as a cracked green CRT, best you can do without calling a tech is to take a peak inside and see if there's any glow at all from the green tube, and if there's not, if there's any fluid leakage, particularly pooled down inside the neck of the tube.
