No red color on zenith sr3587dt (1995)?

Only occasionally will the red color restore on this tv. Otherwise, it is a fine picture. I just inherited it from a neighbor, who said it worked fine. Maybe the move loosened a part?
thanks for the help

hi,you probabaly have bad connections due to heat stress on the crt socket board.That board is located on the back end of the picture tube.Look very closely with a magnifying glass and some good lighting to see what i mean.Buy a low wattage soldering iron {25 watts} with a fine point tip and get some fine silver solder and carefully repair the bad joints.Be carefull not to solder 2 connectors together.Practice first on some old parts or old radoi or pc board.Good luck,make sure you pull the plug.Jim
