those with extensive CRT repair experience (edit: please, for the love of sweet jebus, don't reply if you are just guessing and haven't worked on a tube)
i picked up this Sony KV-8AD11 a while ago and it has been sitting on the repair pile. while i've recapped and restored a couple of dozen arcade & tube tv's, diagnosis isn't my strong suit.
what's causing the green hue running along the left side? it remains there even after the chassis has warmed up, and switching between RF and composite input makes no difference.
interestingly, the green hue does *not* show up on snow/static screens. is this something adjustable via the internal potentiometers, or will it require some PCB work?
